#NEC CDR74/CHINON 431
2 messages in this thread
I have a problem with my CD-ROM(s). One is a CHINON CDX-431. The other is a
NEC CDR-74. The problem is that I keep getting the CDR 101 error message. I
installed and reinstalled the drivers for each many times. Sometimes I can get
the CHINON to work but ONLY if I have the CD that I plan to use in the drive
when I boot. The NEC has never worked. I am using a Trantor T-130. I have two
SCSI drives on the adapter (one 1.2 gig and one 500 meg). Two floppies are also
on the card. The computer is a Gateway 2000 486/33 with overdrive chip making
it a 486/66. It is frustrating to load and reload the drivers (ADAPTEC ASPI
CD-ROM Module for DOS, ver 2.1). Any suggestions? ANY help greatly
appreciated.
I operate a gateway2000 486 DX2-66Mhz computer with a NEC 37 external CdROM and
Trantor T-128 interface card. I likewise have had problems with intermittent
(unexplained failure) and the CD 101 error message. The CD101 error message was
resolved when I excluded the T-128 card memory addresses from the extended
memory manager (QEMM) by adding a\the statement x=cc00-cdff to the config.sys
line of the memory manger line. I also discovered that MSCDEX seems to work
best when loaded into conventional( ie not high ram). Good luck BPM
