Having a little trouble with Pioneer DVD DOS drivers...
I'm having a slight problem using the DOS driver for a Pioneer DVD drive.
My drive is a Pioneer 303S ( 6x DVD, SCSI)
My SCSI card is a TEKRAM 390U3W with symbios ver 4.17
I have set the drive with a SCSI ID 0 and have set the Terminator ON as this is the only drive in the SCSI chain.
I've created a boot disk for firmware upgrade with the following as my autoexec.bat and config.sys respectively.
AUTOEXEC.BAT
------------
A:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001
CONFIG.SYS
----------
LASTDRIVE=Z
DEVICE=A:\ASPI8XX.SYS
DEVICE=A:\DRD60ASP.SYS /D:MSCD001 /C:CDP
The 2nd line in CONFIG.SYS is the ASPI driver for the SCSI card. (from Tekram)
The 3rd line in CONFIG.SYS is the driver for the DVD-ROM drive. (from Pioneer)
When I boot with this boot disk it gives me the following:
PIONEER CD-ROM/DVD-ROM DEVICE DRIVER Ver. 3.05 fro MSCDEX Ver. 2.21 - IBM PC-AT PS/2, ASPI Device Driver Copyright (c) Pioneer Electronic Corporation. 1990-1997
ERROR : SCSI Host Adapter can't communicate
with drive. Check SCSI ID on Drive.
Make sure the drive ID matches ID
above. Make sure drive is turned on,
and that SCSI cable is connected.
!! NO CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive found. The device driver isn't installed !!
Hit any key
Now, if I use the device driver that came with my SCSI card and replace this line
DEVICE=A:\DRD60ASP.SYS /D:MSCD001 /C:CDP
with this line
DEVICE=A:\SYMCD.SYS /D:MSCD001
The DVD-ROM is able to read CD-ROM discs BUT is not able to have its firmware upgraded. The Firmware upgrade software says that the drive is not found.
All the drivers from both devices (DVD drive and SCSI card), are the latest I could find
Can you please help with my current problem.
Thanks in advance...
