Hi Johnson,
pity that Jack has so much stress with his neighbours...
I think we have a misunderstanding about the drivers:
UDF would be something for SHSUCDX, while AHCI would
be for UIDE (SATA). I do not know whether AHCI would
be useful for DOS, as SATA already is supported by
UIDE anyway and

Hi,
So UIDE is the best, by far. I will keep AHCI as optional anyway because
there *could* be a mahine with AHCI only...
Don't worry about Legacy IDE.

All of what you noted is correct. I have no plans to do
UDF
I have prepeared a Boot floppy (and a CD with the image) with a boot
menu and different drivers, here is what I got from a very small sample:
UIDE.SYS worked every time
AHCI.SYS did not work on my SATA machine, aparently it works only with
specific Intel chips. It shows an Intel message.

I don't know about others, but I for one would find a udf driver

tough to tell if it has anything on it, and being able to boot from
such a disk would be worlds better

Alain, you started the thread, do you think such a big
UDF CDEX driver would be useful? Or do you think that
it would indeed be too big and too complex for most?
I will not need the UDF driver for what I have in mind... I believe that
uses of UDF
IS AHCI only for USB? or is it for SATA?
For me SATA is important, the more compatible the better. USB is not so
important for me...

No, but some notebooks lack in BIOS the option Handle CD-ROM devices in

The link bellow did not work, the driver is in a package SP39596 and I
found it at

It is a 2Mb driver that I nedded to instal in a Win98, and then search

no, anyway the problem is CDROM :)
actually ahci is only sata related technology...

Eric,
Sure... UIDE, gcdrom, gxcdrom (or was it xgcdrom?),
should be no problem. If you boot from it, you can
also use bios as driver (plus eltorito,sys). Same
for SATA DVD and BD drives, but remember that our
SHSUCDX and MSCDEX both support only

Realy? I am not sure about it.
Of course, with read cache to improve efficiency.
It's working under SATA long time ago, but only BIOS in Native IDE
mode, not AHCI.
But definitely you should try GCDROM

No, but some notebooks lack in BIOS the option Handle CD-ROM devices in legacy
IDE mode so you have to use AHCI.

is there any way to use an IDE cdrom drive in FreeDOS?
