Win98se installation with SCSI cdrom

[Prince of Persia]

My IDE cdrom is busted. So how do I make a bootdisk to support scsi cdrom.
Heres my scsi stuff

Tekram 390F
Yamaha 4416S

Where can I find a boot disk that supports scsi devices and what should I expect to do when I boot up with the disk in place.

Assuming you're using a version of Windows, copy the following files to your boot disk

MSCDEX.EXE from Windows or DOS
ASPIUWF.SYS & TRMCD.SYS from the Tekram disks or site

modify your Config.sys file to include these lines:
DEVICE=ASPIUWF.SYS
DEVICE=TRMCD.SYS /D😱EMCD000

modify yout Autoexec.bat file to include these lines:
MSCDEX.EXE /D😱EMCD000

Reboot and your SCSI devices should be recognized.

Heres my config.sys
[menu]
menuitem=CD, Start computer with CD-ROM support.
menuitem=NOCD, Start computer without CD-ROM support.
menudefault=CD,30
menucolor=7,0

[CD]
device=himem.sys /testmem😱ff
device=oakcdrom.sys /D:mscd001
device=btdosm.sys
device=flashpt.sys
device=btcdrom.sys /D:mscd001
device=aspi2dos.sys
device=aspi8dos.sys
device=aspi4dos.sys
device=aspi8u2.sys
device=aspicd.sys /D:mscd001
DEVICE=ASPIUWF.SYS
DEVICE=TRMCD.SYS /DOEMCD000


[NOCD]
device=himem.sys /testmem😱ff


[COMMON]
files=10
buffers=10
dos=high,umb
stacks=9,256
lastdrive=z




Heres my autoexec.bat file

@ECHO OFF


IF "%config%"=="NOCD" GOTO QUIT

LH A:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001
MSCDEX.EXE /DOEMCD000
echo.

:QUIT
SET DIRCMD=/og /a /p
SET PATH=A:\


IS everything good to go? The autoexec.bat file seems wrong to me.

Go to tekram's site and download the dos drivers. It comes with an installer and will save you some headaches.

 

[Scaramouche]

You're attempting to load MSCDEX.EXE twice with a different target CD #.

In this case get rid of this line: MSCDEX.EXE /DOEMCD000

Modify this: DEVICE=TRMCD.SYS /DOEMCD000 to this:
DEVICE=TRMCD.SYS /D:mscd001

Make sure the two Tekram DOS drivers are on the boot disk.

 

[Prince of Persia]

are those the two files you told me to find earlier?

after i changed those lines and have the dos files on the disk am I good to go? Thanks so much in advance!

 

[Scaramouche]

Yes, those are the two files.
