You do recall that Dani's latest DANIS506.ADD (File Ver. 1.8.1) requires the use of the lastest version of her DANIATAP.FLT (aka DANIATAPI.FLT, DANATAPI.FLT) (File Ver. 0.4)to access an ATAPI device. Her lastest DANIS506.ADD does *not* work with IBMIDECD.FLT, or IBMATAPI.FLT.

Without using her most recent files together, OS2CDROM.DMD can not find or operate a device, even thought it will be loaded along with CDFS.IFS.

Your problem sounds like what happned to me, when I temporarily used IBM1S506.ADD, but couldn't access the CD-ROM Drive. Oops.


Explained. Now, do I just add her DANITAPI.FLT into the CONFIG.SYS along with the IBM drivers? Or do they have to be removed as well as adding her other offering? And if it goes in there together with the IBM driver and tool, does it preceed those in CONFIG.SYS or come after them?

And .. is there any limitation on all this if used in SCSI systems in that you have to place the IDE drive stuff after the SCSI stuff to keep out of trouble in this case?

Thanks.

The "Dani Drivers" *Replace* the IBM drivers.

If you use these 2 lines

BASEDEV=DANIS506.ADD
BASEDEV=DANIATAPI.FLT

you do not need the IBM IDE drivers and should either REM those lines or delete them.


Until fairly recently I used scsi hard drives, U160/U320 hanging off an Adaptec 29160, and I used to preceed the above 2 lines with

BASEDEV=AICU160.ADD

I think I read somewhere that the order of the drivers is not important these days - possibly in an eCS ng - but old habits die hard :-)

It does and it doesn't. depends on the surroundings. if your boot is c: and you have a backup system also C: you need the scsi first.
