GENERAL

SetAtapiSpeed allows to adjust the access speed of the a4000_atapi.device,
a1200_atapi.device, ad_atapi.device and tandemat.device.
This is required because some CD-Roms are slower than others and because
of timing flaws in different hardware designs.


USAGE

If you wish to adjust the speed of the atapi.device, type:

SetAtapiSpeed name.device unit speed

where name.device stands for the different atapi flavours and unit for
the CD-Rom unit to be modified.

Speed may be any value between 0 and 3, where 0 is the slowest and 3 is the
fastest access speed.

If you do not enter a speed value, SetAtapiSpeed will tell you your current
setting.

The default for the a4000_atapi.device is speed 3; for all other versions it is
speed 1.

If your CD-Rom works with speed 3 you should put a SetAtapiSpeed command in your
user-startup file (with the QUIET switch set.
E.g.: SetAtapiSpeed a1200_atapi.device 2 3)

If your CD-Rom only works with a slower speed as the default, put SetAtapiSpeed
in your startup-sequence before the CD-Rom is mounted.

If you wish to use the CD32-Emulator put this line in front of the CD32 line in
your startup-sequence, too.




That's it!
