#T130, M2511, and OS/2
4 messages in this thread
I have the SCSIWorks T130 in a ZEOS 486/66 with a NEC CDR-82 and a Fujitsu
M2511A MO drive attached. Under DOS 5.01, all is well and I can get to
both drives. Under OS/2, neither is accessed. The error message says that
the OS2CDROM.DMD driver was not loaded. The SCSIWorks user's guide says
that the problem is that the T13BSCSI.ADD did not load for some reason and
that I should run the SCSITEST utility to verify that the hardware and
interface are operating correctly. SCSITEST says that everything is
working well and it successfully finds both devices.
This is an update to the system, which *was* using an Adaptec interface to
drive the CD-ROM only. In this configuration, the CD-ROM worked fine.
With the addition of the Fujitsu drive, the interface was changed to the
Trantor and the device driver for the SCSI interface was changed to the
Trantor driver. Since then, neither device has worked.
I would appreciate any help on this problem. I have been working on it for
three days now.
Thanks,

Well, let's try something simple. Did you copy the T13bSCSI.ADD over to the
correct place and edit the CONFIG.SYS correctly? The READ_OS2.ME file gives a
lot of info on just what to do.
You also have to make sure you are using the correct drivers for the CD-ROM.
With CDROM.SYS, you would add a /T command after the .ADD line in the
CONFIG.SYS. BUT with OS2CDROM.DMD and the NEC .FLT file, you MUST NOT use the
/T option.
Sending a copy of your CONFIG.SYS to Trantor tech support at 510-770-9910 FAX
will help, since they can check that part out for you pretty quickly.
With OS/2 2.1, there is apparently a bug in the install program that won't copy
the .ADD file to the correct place… it has to be manually copied over.
Thanks for the help. I'll try to answer your questions one at a time.
First, I believe the .ADD file is in the proper place. It is in the \OS2
directory and is invoked from the CONFIG.SYS. As far as I can tell from the
READ_OS2.ME file, everything there is correct.
I am not using the /T option on OS2CDROM.SYS and *am* using the NECCDS1.FLT
filter.
I will send a copy of my CONFIG.SYS a little later today, with a note
referencing this conversation. Thanks for the help!
