From: Philip Nienhuis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
You'll have to unpack the Panasonic files (kxlcb31an, kxlrw32an and kxlrw40an are just self-extracting archives and don't install a thing) and browse through them for clues. They all contain a subdir with files for many drive models so it seems.
Your right Philip... the files do extract without being set up into the OS. But there's not much I can find of help looking through the files. Tho' I might be missing something. Most readme are in non-legible Japanese characters.
The only files they contain that look like they’ll work in DOS are the *.sys files. And in each of those 3 archive files I downloaded, there are only one or two Panasonic .sys files. All the rest are either config.sys files to load system specific files, or the same 3 .sys files to get USB drivers working: Usbaspi.sys, Usbcd.sys, and Ramfd.sys. And none of the Panasonic sys files, such as kmusbatp.sys and kmusbf2k.sys that were included in the archive kxlrw31an.exe that worked for Xin, are started in any of the config.sys files found in folders for the various systems. They're only loaded in Windows .inf setup files.
I’m still in the dark about just what Xin did with the files he found in kxlrw31an.exe. The only thing I can think is that he set up lines to load them in the boot FD config.sys like:
Device= kmusbatp.sys Device= kmusbf2k.sys
I copied those and other .sys files to my boot FD, and set up those ‘Device=xxxxxx.sys’ commands to match each in the config.sys from Xin’s wesbite. But with all of the files specified on his and the theinquirer.net web pages loaded onto the FD, nothing seems to find the XiO! CF reader on the L100 EPR’s USB port, or the port itself.
Maybe there’s something specific to CF media that Xin neglected to outline.
