Hello All,
Good news, for a change.
Because of the advice to use SnoopDOS, I was able to track
down what was amiss. The results, I do not believe.
One. When I ran the installation script, I found that it
could not find certain files. Thanks to SnoopDOS, I found out
that, whomever wrote that script, hard coded a device/file.
The author presumed that everyone would have their Storage
drawer in their Sys: directory. As everyone knows, there is
no one place, nor one correct place, to keep the Storage
drawer. In fact, you do not even have to have it on your
harddisk, at all. So, when the script could not find the
Storage directory, which I placed on a different partition, it
declared a DOS error and stopped working.
By using Ed, I rid that script of all the lines of lan-
guages, other than the English (since I do not speak nor read
German). Next I located each occurrence of
"sys:storage/dosdrivers/".
Then I, simply, substituted the partition, I use, for the
"sys:" the script had. Having done that, I ran the script;
and, "Voila!", it did what it is supposed to do. I then re-
booted my Amiga, and I now have an accessible CD ROM drive.
What I still do not understand is, "Why did my Amiga sud-
denly not find the CD ROM drive when it was finding it even
after I had moved the Storage directory, given that I added
lines, in my s/User-Startup, assigning Storage to that parti-
tion and a line for the path?" If anyone can come up with a
sane and viable answer, please let me know.
Lastly, thanks to all of you, for your kind help. I hope
to be able to do, likewise, for you, in the future.
I wish all of you a great New Year.
Regards,
Julian.
