Start by F12 and then *CDFS then *CDDEVICES
I'll assume this will come up with no devices found.
If CDFSsoftATAPI is active, that should detect IDE CD/DVD drives
automatically, and no other modules should be needed except CDFS
itself and CDFSfiler (which are both active from what you've said).
Can't recall off the top of my head if they're in OS5, but CDFSdriver
and CDFSresources should probably both be active too:
*RMreinit CDFSdriver
*RMreinit CDFSresources
Almost certainly this will all have been OK, which leaves the physical
items (drive, cable).
I'd start by checking Master/slave settings on the CD/DVD drive - it
probably wants to be slave, but have a look at what harddrive(s) you
have installed, and how many cables. If one cable, you probably want
harddrive as Master, and CD drive as Slave. Make sure not to use
CableSelect, as it rarely works. Master/slave is set via jumpers on
the back of drives.
If two cables, put both devices as master, unless you have 2
harddrives in which case you can either have both HDDs as Master/Slave
on one cable, and CD as Master on the other, or HDD+CD (as previous
para) and secondary harddrive as Master on second cable.
If it still doesn't start working, then as others have said, test
drive in other computer(s) with known working CDFS setups (I suspect
you don't have a PC to hand which would be the other testbed).
Good luck,
Andrew
