Short: Use ATAPI devices (CD-ROM) with IDE port Author: olli@elaborate-bytes.com (Oliver Kastl) Uploader: olli@elaborate-bytes.com (Oliver Kastl) Version: 1.3 Type: disk/misc Replaces: disk/misc/idefix97.lha Kurz: ATAPI Geräte (CD-ROM) an Amiga IDE port Requires: OS 2.04, OS 3.0 or better recommended. Date: 03.06.97 Www: http://www.elaborate-bytes.com IDE-fix '97 is the all-new "all in one box" solution for all your IDE problems! Also very useful for owners of SCSI CD-ROMs!!! ATAPI: Allows you to use ANY ATAPI device with your Amiga, including ANY ATAPI 1.2 compliant IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM, LS120 ATAPI Floppy drive, TORiSAN ATAPI CD-ROM changer, NEC 4x4 changer and more!!!! Supports reading of CDDA data from IDE port (requires MakeCD or similar ATAPI CD-Reader program). ATAPI CD-ROM changers: ATAPI drivers and CacheCDFS are modified to support ATAPI changers like TORiSAN and NEC changers. You can either use a seperate changer utility to change to the desired disk, or you can mount each disk seperately! This is a great advantage for BBS systems! New drivers are included for: Amiga IDE port (A600, A1200, A4000, A4000T) WinnerCD (Vesalia), AT-BUS2008, TandemCD, TandemAT, AlfaPower, AlfaPower plus, CD1200, CD1200 plus, AlfaQuattro (all AlfaData Technic Corp.), Buddha (Individual Computers), EasyCD (Telmex), RandyROM (MLC), SpeedUp System(VOB) CacheCDFS: Very sophisticated ISO9660, RockRidge and MAC HFS compatible CD-ROM FileSystem. Features: Amiga Protection bits supported, advanced LRU caching algorhythm, Built-in MultiSession support, Trax support, MultiVolume support (more than one ISO image on a CD). Embedded Audio support. Works with with SCSI-I, SCSI-II and ATAPI drives! Supports reading from CD-Writers! CDFSprefs: An intuition based preferences tool to adjust CacheCDFS settings "on the fly". IDE-fix: Enhance your IDE-port! Faster transfer, faster booting, less CPU use! No MaxTransfer troubles, set MaxTransfer as big as you like! TD64 commands supported, use IDE drives bigger than 4 GIG with your Amiga (requires FileSystem with TD64 support). Patches into the system "on the fly", no reboot required. Use 4 IDE drives with your Amiga (with additional 4 drive adapter)!!! Supports removable IDE units (SyQuest or ZIP IDE drives) without trouble! PlayCD: Full featured Audio player for SCSI-II and ATAPI CD-ROMs. Programmable, requires only small amount of memory. CD32: Turns your Amiga 1200 or 4000(T) into a CD32 with the press of a button! Supports SCSI-II or ATAPI CD-ROMS! Includes playing of CDDA from CD32 Titles! AutoParkPrefs: Completely rewritten AutoParkPrefs, intuition based. Allows parking of IDE harddisks after a defined time of inactivity. UnInstall: Removes the whole package if you don't like it. Documentation is included in english and german. Restrictions of unregistered version: Nag requesters, otherwise full functional. This package is shareware, registration instructions are included. IMPORTANT: Amiga Installer 1.24 or better is required. It has to be located in the system path, otherwise the installation tools will not work. History: This is version 1.3 of IDE-fix '97 All changes anly affect users of Amiga embedded IDE port, not users of other controllers. These changes may be added to the other devices in a future release. These changes are not yet mentioned in the documentation. Changes from version 1.2: IDEfix, atapi.device, installation routines: - Added support for the SpeedUp 4-drive adapter by VOB on A600/A1200/A4000 embedded IDE-port. A lot of people asked for this, as the original VOB drivers seem to work unreliable. - Changed documentation and programs for my new e-mail address. Changes from version 1.0/1.1: IDEfix: - Added code to recognize OEM-EIDE ZIP drives as removable. However, it is still not confirmed, if it works. - If IDEfix runs from chip-memory (e.g. installed with LoadIDE) it copies itself to fast memory at initialisation, improving performance. - Avoids accidental "double-mounting" of volume, if patched "live" into system (not loaded with LoadIDE) as reported from some customers. - Has atapi.device embedded. ATAPI units can be accessed with atapi.device as before, or through scsi.device (if IDEfix is running). As a side effect, ATAPI devices are visible at boot time. - Has MountLS120 embedded, so booting from ATAPI Floppies (LS-120) or ATAPI-ZIP drives is possible. CrossDos will automatically mounted, if present. If a medium WITH RDSK Block is present at boot time, it will be mounted as a removeable harddisk (for compatibility with formatted ZIP or SyQuest media). If no or an unformatted medium is present, it will be mounted as a floppy. This mechanism works with EIDE drives (SyQuest EZ), too! The BootPriority is as follows: DF4 - 4, DF5 - 3. DF6 - 2, etc. NOTE: To boot from an ATAPI/IDE floppy, a bootblock must be present. You can add one by typing install DFx: NOTE: After installing an IDE/ATAPI floppy, you must adjust the "last-RDSK" flags on your existing harddisks. To do so, start HDToolBox after IDEfix is running and save changes to your harddisks. - Increased stack size from 512 to 1024 bytes. - Changed mount mechanism. ActivateCrossIDEfix: - New program, will be added to s:user-startup on installation. This tool will activate mounted CrossDos Floppies on IDE/ATAPI drives. If you don't like all this CrossDos icons, delete it from s:user-startup. MountIDE: - Changed for the new mount mechanism of IDEfix, resulting in faster operation.
