Solve : Problems with integrating my SCSI CD ROM drive into MS-DOS?

Answer»

Hello!

First of all I would like to excuse my bad english - I'm from Germany

I have a problem here including my SCSI CD ROM drive in MS-DOS

Please have a look at my config.sys and autoexec.bat files I'm posting here and tell me what's wrong:

Quote

Autoexec.bat

C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE /X

PROMPT $p$g
PATH C:\DOS;C:\TREIBER
SET TEMP=C:\DOS
MODE CON CODEPAGE PREPARE=((850) C:\DOS\EGA.CPI)
MODE CON CODEPAGE SELECT=850
KEYB GR,,C:\DOS\KEYBOARD.SYS
LH C:\Treiber\MSCDEX.EXE /S /D:ASPICD0 /M:12 /L:F
REM LH C:\DOS\MOUSE.COM

Config.sys

[menu]
menuitem=CD, mit CD Rom
menuitem=NOCD, ohne CD Rom
menudefault=CD,30
menucolor=7,0

[CD]
device=c:\DOS\himem.sys /testmem:off
device=c:\Treiber\btdosm.sys
device=c:\Treiber\flashpt.sys
DEVICEHIGH=C:\TREIBER\ASPI8DOS.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\TREIBER\ASPICD.SYS /D:ASPICD0

[NOCD]
device=himem.sys /testmem :off

[COMMON]
DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
FILES=30
Buffers=10
DOS=HIGH,UMB
Stacks=9,256
Lastdrive=z
COUNTRY=049,850,C:\DOS\COUNTRY.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\DISPLAY.SYS CON=(EGA,,1)

This is the failure message appearing at the very end:
Device driver not found: "AspiCD0".
No valid CD Rom device drivers selected

What's wrong? Thank you so much in advance!Try adding the directory that contains the SCSI drivers in the path statement in the autoexec.bat file...

Example:

PATH C:\DOS;C:\TREIBER\ASPI8DOS.SYSThanks, but unfortunalety it didn't help. There's STILL the same error message.

I have made a photo from this screen - please have a look:

If not i'm afraid you might be out of luck.Quote from: patio on April 10, 2007, 09:30:39 AM

Thanks for this little hint!!!
I have worked it out now and I'm very very happy!!!!!! It was a long way to solve it.
With your hint I got to the manuf. site of the SCSI Controller...Adaptec. In a driver package I found a readme.txt with a list of all drivers and the models associated. I have a special model which needs another driver as the standard controllers (<- ASPI8DOS.SYS ...) named MCAM18XX.SYS. With this driver it works perfectly.

Thanks for your help and the IMPORTANT little hint which LED me to the manuf. page from the scsi controller.Excellent ! And WELCOME Aboard ! !
