    Hello,

    i have bought an external CD/DVD Drive USB but Jalapeno see it as source (many entries for same drive in fact) but i can't choose any destination and impossible to write an ISO.

    It's possible to read MorphOS CD.

    Any idea ?

    Thanks ;-)

    Does anyone know what program(s)/libraries/device(s) controls the CD/DVD aspects within Ambient/MorphOS? :-?

    The MorphOS CD/DVD control of external devices (USB) for such "burning" functionality, and sometimes other intrinsic features (audio CDs), that should be able to be modified through settings/preferences, actually seems to be confined to an internal CD/DVD drive so these capabilities are incapable of being utilised currently, and ideally needs addressing . . . or at least that's how it seems to me.

    Why do you have the same device, the Matsushita (Panasonic) UJ-835E listed 11 times in the settings of Jalapeno?

    Isn't once enough/sufficient, or is Jalapeno adding the drive automatically into settings? If not, then I'd delete the duplicate entries as they seem to be serving no purpose.

    If the GWA-4165B DVD/CDRW drive is on the internal IDE channel, then I would have thought it would write/read DVD-R/W and CD-R/W discs, but it seems to be set as Slave (IDE-2)!

    Having said that, you seem to still have the UJ-835E set as the default "burner" (Default Disc Copy Source) drive - were you aware of that too?

    "Why do you have the same device, the Matsushita (Panasonic) UJ-835E listed 11 times in the settings of Jalapeno?"

    >I would like to know :-) It's the "bug"

    "Having said that, you seem to still have the UJ-835E set as the default "burner" (Default Disc Copy Source) drive - were you aware of that too?"

    >Yes, Jalapeno has put it automaticaly in "Source". About string "Default Disk Copy Source" for me it's the source not the "Destination" (Writer).

    "Isn't once enough/sufficient, or is Jalapeno adding the drive automatically into settings? If not, then I'd delete the duplicate entries as they seem to be serving no purpose."

    You may try direct programms of jalapeno in Mossys:Data/Jalapeno.

    MOSSYS:Data/Jalapeno/cdrecord -scanbus gives yo the device-indentifaication for your CD-Writer.

    Gives something like that:

    Bus 0 - usbscsi.device
    Bus 1 - sbp2.device
    Bus 2 - ide.device
    Bus 3 - 2nd.ide.device
    scsibus0:
    0,0,0 0) 'SONY ' 'CD-RW MPD-AP20U' '1.0a' Removable CD-ROM
    0,1,0 1) 'SONY ' 'MEMORYSTICK MPD ' '1.0a' Removable Disk
    0,2,0 2) *
    0,3,0 3) *
    0,4,0 4) *
    0,5,0 5) *
    0,6,0 6) *
    0,7,0 7) *

    scsibus3:

    3,7,0 307) *

    First entry is a USB-CDRW. ( dev=0,0,0 )

    Now you may use cdrecord to burn something on that device. See cdrecord -help for otions.

    No, Mac won't recognize it in Boot-Menue, because its on the USB-port, which is'nt supported (officially) to boot.
    Mac can (official) only boot from SATA, IDE, FIREWIRE or Network.
    But it can be possible by calling USB-port directly in OF (like booting from as stick). I'm not sure, whether CD-filesystem is also recognized if CD-Drive is on USB and not on IDE-port......

    Pegasos: Not possible - USB (filesystem on USB) not supported.
    Efika: Should work(?), but I never got it working. Maybe a problem with my USB-CD-Drive.

    Others: Don't know!

    I'm not sure if FireWire supports CD too! I know it works for harddisks.
    Please serach about that, before you buy a FW-CD-Drive.
    The best way to boot ist from internal CD or HD. Or, if it's not a too old Mac, from USB-stick (only direktly from OF-console)

    Yes, tested it now - works on G4-PB. If your Mac creates the UD-Device during runtime it's easy. You can check it in OF with command dev-alias
    Connect CD-Drive to USB, then turn on or reboot and goto OF-console.
    A device named ud should be shown. If it's ok, content of CD can be shown with dir ud:,\
    There is no way to boot automaticaly - you have to call propper boot.img for your Mac manually.

    Type

    boot ud:,\mac_ppc32\boot.img BD=CD0

    If you have a G5, then use mac_ppc64 instead of mac_ppc32.

    Actually, with the very latest 3.15 HDimg written as raw data to a USB stick, you should be able to set the boot-device to ud:,\\:tbxi to boot directly from it.
    At least that is how I boot a MorphOS install image on my PBook5,8.
    Unfortunately, there are a few more pitfalls with USB, so results may vary. At least I'm pretty sure that you don't need to enter OF-console each time once you found a compatible USB stick and reconfigured the boot-device in OF.
    It also works on a PMacG5 and/or iMacG5 as the script included with the HDimg automatically selects the correct boot.img.

    Very interessting! Tried that in the past and it won't work (but with older versions of MOS). So I did it with a boot-menue and created a bootable USB-stick (or USB-HD) and called boot.img there directly, which also works flawless.
    But useing the raw-data of the ISO and let do the Mac the rest, is the quickest way! I've to test this too......

    Indeed. While cyfm described this method a couple of times in the depths of the MorphZone forum, I think it deserves a more prominent place.
