#NO CDROM with CorelScsi!

** Problems CD-ROM under Netware 3.11 and CorelSCSCI! **
Dear administrators,
we are using following soft- and hardware:
EISA-Server:
CorelSCSI! V 1.01F
CDROM-Server V 1.20
Netware 3.11
DataTechnology-Adapter DTC 3290AS (EISA)
NEC CD-ROM Reader CDR 74
AUTOEXEC.NCF:
load univ above16=yes host=0
load cdsvr100 mount
Client:
DOS 6.0
IPX/SPX 3.02 Rev A
Netx 3.32
MSCDEX 2.22
and we sometimes have no access to the cd-rom on the file server! If I use
CDMAP to see all the drives, everything is mapped and seems to be OK, but
if I'd like to copy something, the error : "CDR101 not ready reading
drive " occurs. I changed all hardware parts (except server) to be sure,
that this is not the reason, but without success! I changed the IDs and
so on.
Who can help with an idea ? Could IPX be the reason ?
By the way: a second server uses the same software: everything works fine!

Det,
Here are some common things to check.
Maker sure that the DTC controller is not set to SYNC negotiation. The NEC
drive will have a problem with this.
The version 1.02f is rather old. You can update to the latest driver free of
charge plus shipping. Just place a message in our Customer Service area here
on CS.
Since the 3290 is an EISA controller, You do not need the ABOVE16=Y option on
UNIV. This is for 16 bit Bus Mastering DMA using SCSI controllers only.
I hope these things help. If not, I'll be here…<grin>
