Re: QNX 4.25 does not see the CD drive
Turns out that the answer was to use the latest version of Fsys.atapi, downloaded from the QNX download site. At the
point where the autodetect fails during the installation, there's an "Add" button available. It lets you add a driver
from a floppy, in this case, the new Fsys.atapi. The driver is is installed on the RAM disk, and runs, and detects the
hard drive as well as the CD drive.
The installation program also installs this driver into the boot image when it does the installation, a nice bonus. Also
, the new driver sees almost all of the hard drive, in this case it seems to see 700gb of a 750gb hard drive, rather
than the 128gb that the old version was limited to.
This only works on this motherboard, an Intel, if the BIOS has the drive controller set to "Native" mode, and the SATA
configuration to be IDE. There was a note in the motherboard box that said that this was necessary for OSs other than
Windows; I didn't read the note, of course, so I had to find out the hard way.
I am curious; we still have a number of 4.24 systems out in the field. Would this driver work under 4.24?
