This time i doesnt have money for buying an SCSI cd-rom player, that can i do later also. But when i bought the case for my 80386 case it came with an mitsumi double speed cd-rom player, also known as a 2x speed cd-rom player.
I know it could connected it to the soundcards cd-rom interface..
I setup the cd-rom interface soundcard connector.. I set it to mitsumi, and connecting the drive on the mitsumi connector.. (to setup the soundcard connector i used sndinit.exe program utility..
It makes an automaticly string:
DEVICE=C:\MAGICS20\CDIFINIT.SYS /T:X
in the config.sys...
But after rebooting the system, it gave me an load error. And cd-rom drive doesnt work..
For being sure the cd-rom player works, i have connecting it now to a pentium 200mhz rig. And it seems the drive is working perfect!!. So that couldnt be the problem..
Then i tried to find a manual for my acer magic s20 soundcard.. But still finding the orginal manual for it...
But i found this link with google:
http://www.techadvice.com/tech/c/cdrom_dossu.htm
All i found it this:
Mitsumi
Mitsumi IDE CD-ROM v1.35 Driver
Systems
Systems with the Mitsumi 2x or 4x CD-ROM Drive. These systems can
be identified by the words "Double Speed" or "Quad Speed" imprinted on
the CD-ROM tray.
Installation Process
1.Download the latest driver from our ftp site.
2.Place a diskette into the floppy drive. All data on this disk will be
removed.
3.Enter FORMAT A: /U from the MS-DOS prompt to prepare the diskette
for data.
4.Enter MIT135CD.EXE -D A: from the directory you transferred the file
to. This will decompress the self-extracting file onto the floppy diskette.
5.Enter A:\SETUPD.EXE once the file is extracted to install the CD-ROM
driver and follow the prompts to complete the installation. During the
installation, you will be prompted for the location of MSCDEX.EXE.
In DOS 6.X this file is located in the C:\DOS directory.
In Windows 95 this file is located in the C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
directory.
Additional Information
The installation process will automatically create the entry
MTMCDAI.SYS below the following lines in your CONFIG.SYS file if
you have an AcerMagic S20 sound card and a CMD IDE Controller
running MS-DOS 6.x.
DEVICE=C:\MAGICS20\CDIFINIT.SYS /T:X
DEVICE=C:\QUICKCMD\CMD640X.SYS /I15 /A33 /L
DEVICE=C:\MTM\MTMCDAI.SYS /D:MTMIDE01
Mitsumi IDE (non-OEM)
autoexec.bat
c:\DOS\MSCDEX.exe /D:MTMIDE01 /M:10
config.sys
device=c:\MTM\MTMCDAI.sys /D:MTMIDE01
Normally i know that it needs a cd-rom driver like *.sys and a string in the config.sys file..
And an mscdex.exe cd-rom program and a string in the autoexec.bat..
But now i see it need :
DEVICE=C:\MAGICS20\CDIFINIT.SYS /T:X
DEVICE=C:\QUICKCMD\CMD640X.SYS /I15 /A33 /L
DEVICE=C:\MTM\MTMCDAI.SYS /D:MTMIDE01
Dont i need the mscdex.exe program because of the MTMCDAI.SYS driver??? I dont know what it need to do to let the mitsumi drive work on the soundcards mitsumi interface..
Is this just a IDE cd-rom drive that needs to connect it to the IDE interface on the soundcard, or is this a soundcard interface compatible drive that can used on the mitsumi interface connector from the soundcard?
~ At least it can do black and white~
