Although we believe that the translations are substantially correct, we cannot guarantee their accuracy, due to our limited knowledge of the languages concerned. If you discover an error, please let us know so that we can correct it.
If you have any difficulties running ExtenDOS Gold programs using these versions of the .RSC files, please reinstall the distribution versions before contacting us with a problem report.
Because of the wide variations in the implementation of the ATAPI specification, some recent ATAPI drives may not function properly with the current version of ExtenDOS Gold. If you have such a drive, you may be able to use it successfully by specifying a "Device type" via the installation program INSTALL.APP. The following device types should be used:
| Type of CD device | Suggested device type |
| CD-ROM drive | 3 |
| CD-R drive | 4 |
| CD-RW drive | 5 |
Please see the ExtenDOS Gold manual for how to set the device type.
If a SCSIDRV driver is present when the installation program INSTALL.APP runs, ExtenDOS Gold will be configured to access CD devices via SCSIDRV rather than via its own internal routines. If your SCSIDRV driver is being provided by the generic SCSI driver feature of HDDRIVER, the following HDDRIVER options must be set correctly for ExtenDOS Gold to work:
 | "Background transfers (MagiC)" must be disabled |
| "CD-ROM Drives like Removable Disk Drives" must be disabled |
In addition, for almost all CD recorders:
| "SCSI Bus Arbitration" must be enabled |
All known problems are fixed in v3.4C; if you have any problem in earlier releases of ExtenDOS Gold, please update to v3.4C. If you have updated to the latest version and are having any other problems, you may contact us for assistance by email (preferred) or telephone.
