| It looks like that when using the latest Pioneer SCSI DVD-Rom together with normal CDs (650mb not DVD)together with OS2 your not able to do following: * Play Audio CDs Any that have same problem or uses DVD-Rom (IDE) without any problem under OS2 and able to do above? //Kim |

| http://ftp.urz.uni-heidelberg.de/ftp/pub/os2/drivers Perhaps it is a driver thing? Here is a driver source for OS/2. OS/2 Warp-ed to the very end. |

| Hi Kim, I can't tell if this will help you solving the problem, but just yesterday I hooked up my SCSI DVD 303 from Pioneer that I bought on eBay and came across an interesting fact: I thought that it was just a matter of pulling out my old TEAC 532S CD-Rom and putting in the Pinoeer, because SCSI - huh, you know it's just about ID an that's it, so it should work. But nope Sir: At bootup I had a trap E in the OS2Kernel. I then remebered, that some months ago I had trouble getting OS2CDROM.DMD to work and was forced to use JJSCDROM.DMD instead which worked great and - btw - allowed me digital extraction from my Teac. By error (!) I thought that I couldn't use OS2CDROM.DMD because of my SCSI controller (Dawicontrol 2967UW with SYM53C875 on it). Now I decided to switch back to OS2CDROM instead of JJSCDROM and...: Everything worked beatifully - at least my machine doesn't trap anymore. To sum up: Anyway: As I didn't check for Audio-CD's since I hooked up the DVD-rom yesterday evening, I'll now take a look immediately when getting back home today... Thomas |

| Open the multimedia setup, click on the CD-tab and go onto the third page (by clicking twice on the small "+" in the upper right corner of the window). You will see several checkboxes. Uncheck the "search" box (checked by default). This will enable you to play audio-CDs with the MMOS2-CD-player. Audio-Cd track grabbing is possible by using jjscdrom.dmd. You have to use the flag /F for your DVD-ROM device with jjscdrom.dmd in config.sys. |

| Kim, I can at least confirm the same problems here. I'll try to play with config.sys and let you know of any success... Keep your head up! |

| Kim, I didn't start messing around with config.sys yet, but I was just busy sneaking around for information. Did you know that there is a hell of threads in the newsgroups all about SCSI Pinoeer DVD-ROMs not being able to play sound? Wow! Seems like we're not the only ones As far as I found out, all the problems are dealing with SCSI models. Possible solutions (as far as solutions exist when you don't know the actual problem...): Because of the "error reading sector" message, I was wondering if there is any change in behaviour when using the pin #6 jumper to change the default sector size from 2048 down to 512... if this has any effect? Who knows? Cheers |

Would above mean that there are less problem when using IDE based DVD-ROM units? I always been a bigger fan of using SCSI, but ok if IDE offers less trouble, why not. |

| As far as I've seen in the newsgroups, nobody complained about IDE models. But - heck! - we pay the price to have "better" systems with SCSI and finally we only get f***ed up by sluggish drivers?! No, sir! ![]() But okay, let's get back to the test lab - I first concentrated on OS2CDROM.DMD and alternate solutions JJSCDROM.DMD (20021027) and the pioneer.zip patch for OS2CDROM.DMD, each one in conjunction with aspirout and OS2ASPI.DMD. - OS2CDROM.DMD patched with pioneer.exe Okay - the TRAP problem apparently was caused by "older" version of JJ's driver. This is fixed. Both pioneer patch and JJ enable DAE, thus digital audio cd play works. Well, there IS a problem regarding MMOS/2 and SCSI DVD drives from Pioneer. Cheers |

| Odd, since Pioneer players usually in the past at least has been working rather problem free. Hmm.. but from what you have tested out so far it more or gives the advice to people planning to get Pioneer IDE drives instead of SCSI. I've noticed that this topic have had rather hight interest among people since in top of the topic you'll see how many that have read this posting and it's not showing the number of pageview, it actually showing how many unique visitors that have read this posting based on their IP#. so yes, people are following this since I guess that rather many OS2 users has in the past bought Pioneer hardware, but they might not in the future. What would be the best recommendation when it comes to get a proper working DVD-drive for OS2 then? /Kim |

| I dont't think it's a Pioneer-related problem, it's rather SCSI-related (thinking of the trouble with my Teac CDR32S drive).To make sure: It's not Pioneer who's to blame in my opinion. If we take DANIs drivers for example: As far as I understand, they (besides other things) provide an interface for ASPI commands, making an IDE CD-whatsoever drive act as if it was a SCSI drive, enabling the user to use it along with e.g. CD-recording programs. And this works. So this proves the cause of the problem being the 'core' SCSI / ASPI implementation within OS/2 in my mind. But this is just guessing. I can only observe from what I experienced on my system(s). I think I'll drop a post into the os2hardware group at yahoo and look what those "know-it-alls" will suggest me to do. Maybe anyone can clarify on the cause.Greetings |

| I also own a Pioneer DVD-ROM (305S). This drive has two problems: 1) Locked firmware. The firmware locks speeds down to 6x or 4x 2) Ripping a music CD as a whole track will cause a cracking sound Both problems have already been identified by many review sites, The drive also has some incompatibilites with playing music CDs, |
