Ron,
Just for your information, cdroms all use SCSI commands, so
they are IDed as SCSI. The ID denotes "scsibus,target,lun,".
If you don't have a DOS utility to tell you, then most likely
you can try the following till you get the right one.
0,0,0,
0,1,0
0,2,0
And so on. If those don't work try
1001,0,0,
1001,1,0
1001,2,0
And so on.
Hope this may help in the future.
Rob

Hi Folks,
     Further to the discussion to burning a CD in DOS, I have
played with the DOSROAST stuff for what seems like years and years, and
I have never got it to burn a CD.



Making the .ISO images is fine.  But everytime I try again to burn
an image to CD I get the same error - CD-burner not found or the
/ID=whatever is incorrect.



Does anyone know how I would find the "ID" of my burner ?
It is an IDE ATAPI CD burner, on second master drive.



Regards,

Hi Ron,

To find the correct ID of your burner.....

cd doscdrb3

addev aspi.sys

cdtools /devices

Result .....

Installed CDROM Devices...
 0:0:0 JLMS     DVD-ROM LTD-166S DS0B
 0:1:0 PIONEER  DVD-RW  DVR-111D 1.23
                        ^^^^^^^^<-- vender ID string

Sooooo... the ID of my burner is ... 0:1:0

And the command for burning.....

:burn
addev aspi.sys
cdtools /format /id=0:1:0 /noconfirm
(omitt the formatting step if not using re-writable media)
file2cd k:\image_name.iso /id=0:1:0 /noconfirm /nounderrun /speed=16
deldev aspi.sys               ^^^^^<-- ID of burner shown via cdtools /devices
del c:\aspi.log
________________________________________________________________________________

If the above still fails... we might need to 'hack' your copy
of file2cd.exe just like I had to do with my copy and gregy's
to include the vender ID string of your burner.

Let me know what happens and I'll be happy to do the 'hacking' for you
or to talk you through doing it yourself.
