Hi!
Are you sure that UIDE causes this? Please paste the
relevant lines of your config etc. Do you cache, too?
Before UIDE, one style for caching a CD/DVD drive was:
yes i am pretty sure
ill share the entire config
https://johnreedcenter.net/4/fdcfg.zip
here is a zip of my complex config stuff i did disable cdrom.bat and the
system works fine now
i don't do any caching because of issues in the past
1. load hardware driver of your choice for CD/DVD
2. load CDRCACHE
3. load MSCDEX, SHSUCDX or similar
In that case, you had to point 2. at 1. as driver,
but tell 3. that 2. is the "driver" for your CD/DVD.
Without a cache, you would just load 1. and 3. and
tell 3. that the driver is 1. as in the old days.
With UIDE, you can use /D:... to tell it which
driver name to provide. Default is UDVD1 I think.
Obviously, you can also use the separate UDVD2
driver instead of UIDE. If you load UDVD2 *after*
the harddisk and caching driver UHDD, UDVD2 will
be able to invoke UHDD for caching.
ohh
Do you cache? Have you tried differend hardware
drivers as alternative to UIDE? Have you tried
UDVD2 as well? Which type of drives do you have?
i dont cache the SSDs
i have 4 internal DOS SSDs 1zip drive and 1 disconnected dvd drive
and 2 floppy drives in 1 system accessible by FreeDOS
You say you have multiple SSD, HDD or "equivalent"
drives, as well as CD and DVD drives? Are those
ATAPI, ATA, SATA or other types? Which of them
all internal SSDs are SATA
the DVD and ZIP drive is IDE/PATA
are master, slave, and so on? If you use SATA,
did you make sure to disable AHCI mode in BIOS?
If you cannot, can you find a driver for AHCI?
yes i did and the zip drive is currently master
it is in regular compatible ide mode
Please be very exact in describing the different
scenarios and what works and what does not and what
exactly you think UIDE contributes to the situation.
apologies
let me share hardware specs in this email

these are ALL the drives currently the dvd drive is not found because it
is disconnected and i have the cable rn but i cannot install it because
of a 486 in the way
Thank you! Regards, Eric
ay np see u soon!
