The best way to do this is setup a drawer on your amiga with the following files in. [Call it
RAM:CD1 for the mount list below - Dan.]
CD1 AmiCDRom Mountlist file.
CD1.info An icon for the above.
cdrom-handler The filesystem handler.
Mount WB3.1 Mount command.
Just ensure that the mountlist points to 'Ram:cdrom-handler' and not 'L:cdrom.handler' and
that the icon points to 'Ram:Mount' as the mount command on the NetworkCD is WB1.3
and is not suitable.
The Mountlist file is...
/* AmiCDROM filesystem */
Handler = Ram:CD1/cdrom-handler
Stacksize = 10000
Priority = 10
GlobVec = -1
Mount = 1
Startup = "DEVICE=cd.device UNIT=0 ML T R"
The version of Mount should be 38 or above (use 'Version Mount' to check).
Q: How do I stop my CD32 resetting when I take the CD-ROM out?
A: If you boot from CD-ROM, the CD32 resets when the lid is opened. You can either run a program
such as NoReset that disables this or boot from another device, such as RAD, floppy, or hard drive.
Q: How do I use my CD32 as a CD drive or slave drive for another computer?
A: Connect a serial link (buy a ready-made link or make your own - see the diagram for the Aux port)
between the CD32's Aux port and the other computer. Then run either Sernet or Twin Express on the
other computer and the CD32. You'll have to find a bootable CD-ROM with one of these programs on it
and you may need to run NoReset unless Sernet and Twin Express are on the same CD as the files you
want to transfer.
If you have an interface attached that gives you a parallel port, you can connect a parallel link between
the CD32 and the other computer, remembering to use a special Parnet cable and not a normal parallel
cable (otherwise you could easily fry everything). Run Parnet on the other computer and the CD32.
You'll have to find a bootable CD-ROM with Parnet on it and you may need to run NoReset unless
Parnet is on the same CD as the files you want to transfer.
ParNFS is a replacement for Parnet, with bug fixes for Workbench 2 or above machines (that includes
the CD32). It fixes the Dir, List, and Directory Opus bugs.
