Hello ( Getting ISA ESS Audiodrive ES1869F PNP 1998 soundcard's IDE-port CD-drive working.)
Been trying half a year to get a modern IDE CD-drive to work through a very hard to use ESS Audiodrive ISA AK1868PNP sound card.
- Someone recommended these Audiodrives with IDE-connector and they should be "easy" but from my experiences it is bad.
- I have found only below site* that describes how to make a CD-drive work but it doesn't really explain anything.
https://flaterco.com/kb/audio/ISA/index.html#ESS
In a section called "ESS AudioDrive ES1868F (PnP)"
- What do these below DOS-command lines do ?
CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\ESS\ES1868.COM ( I have this and it just "enables" the IDE-connector. )
DEVICE=C:\BIN\XMGR.SYS ( ??? )
DEVICE=C:\BIN\UIDE.SYS /S5 /H ( ??? )
DOS=HIGH
AUTOEXEC.BAT
C:\BIN\SHSUCDX.COM /C /D:UDVD1 ( ??? )
------------------------------
My commands below have not worked and "Driver not found" always appears.
CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\ES1868.COM /A:170 /I:9 ( Tried */I:F* also ) ( ENABLE IDE-PORT )
DEVICE=C:\DOS\OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001 ( CD-ROM DRIVER )
AUTOEXEC.BAT
C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /V /L:D ( START D:\ DRIVE )
Thanks
