Pioneer DRM-604X NoGoDOS
6 messages in this thread
Have just connected a Pioneer DRM-604X multiplatter CDROM drive to my system,
and cannot read any cdroms, despite using ones which worked on my prior
BSR/Sony (DAK) drive: Sci Am Med, MS Bookshelf, US History, Toolworks World
Atlas, among others.
1st drive produces CDR 101 Error reading Drive S:
Other drives: CDR 103 Disk is not ISO 9660 or High Sierra

Pioneer DRM-604X cdrom changer
Mscdex from pioneer, 2-04-92, 25431 bytes.
Was told explicitly by vendor that the software drivers would work with my
ultrastor 14F scsi controller.
Suggestions?
Does Pioneer have online support anywhere?
Thanks in advance. –ed
Have tried with and without /S
Just a guess…make sure the data side of the discs are facing up.
Unfortunately,
fix is not so easy. All cdroms face up. –ed thanks
James,
Unforunately, no such simple fi. However, new PAS-16 drivers (from PAS BBS,
now uploaded in this forum as well as PAS forum) seem to solve problem.
Thanks –ed
Are you still using the Beta ASPI drivers that come with the drive
(Version 1.1 of the Pioneer DOS drivers disk), or did you get hold of
the final release version ? The final version seems a lot more
stable than the old beta driver, although I still prefer the Corel
SCSI drivers.
If you want to give Corel a try, be sure to get version 1.1 of their
drivers (double check if you get them from an adaptec bundle, because
the version nr's don't match the real version). The latest Corel
drivers work fine, they support audio and "CDCHANGE" which allows you
to use only 1 drive letter and still access all disks.
Hans,
Great improvement with ver111.exe dl's from {Pioneer BBS).
Thanks –ed
