wow this video is great, because i never knew how to setup a SCSI cdrom drive!! i also have an adaptec scsi card, and by looking at your video I just need to add ASPI8DOS.SYS and ASPICD.SYS to the config.sys file, and nothing added to the autoexec file? What about if you have a scsi cdrom, and a soundblaster isa 16 card?, you connect that 4pin audio cable on the back of the cdrom to the sound blaster 16 "audio in" header, and i should be able to listen music from CD audio tracks from a disc, right? or what is so called CD games with audio tracks on the disc.
Basically yes, just the two drivers are needed. Beware tthough that the ASPI8DOS ist controller-specific. You may need another one depending on the SCSi controller. And besides that, MSCDEX is still needed as well. If you connect the analog audio cable to the sound card, you can directlynplay music CDs and output the audio via the soundcard. That goes as well for any games, which come with a soundtrack on the CD as well ative audio tracks.
Yes, that's possible as well. Though the whole point of the story is how to run in contemporary context with an old DOS release, and the drivers available for that particular hardware during that period. As a collector, I bother about the authenticity and period correctness rather than the latest bit of performance and technological advancement. Otherwise, I just use FreeDOS, which has indeed a lot more to offer due to it's way more advanced implementation for both the OS, the drivers and the utilities.
@@asanjuas I'll try to 🙂 Maybe it needs anyway more videos, I'll see that once I start digging in. So far I only ever played around with CP/M-80 and CP/M-86, and also DR DOS, but never the intermediate releases in between, like DOS PLUS, Concurrent CP/M, Concurrent DOS, et all. Really curious to dig in, but first things first, I have some other content still coming upfront.
@@THEPHINTAGECOLLECTOR in order this is : - CP/M-80 - CP/M-86 - Personal CP/m-86 (or CP/M-86 Plus) like CP/M 3.0. - DOS PLUS - Concurrent PC-DOS 3.2 - DR-DOS.
There are here and there drivers for propietary cd-rom drives including mitsumi panasonic and philips

In English it is typically pronounced as one word. ATAPI pronounced as "A TAP EEE" or "Ahh Taaa Pee"
qdos was a cp/m clone correct, but qdos was developed for 8086 not 8080 with 8080 cp/m-80 works correctly
Fully correct, I was meant to say 8086/88, tong twister, sorry for that.
@@THEPHINTAGECOLLECTOR Don't bother about that , mistakes are always present we are humans after all.
One could look at how boot floppies do it to load oakcdrom.
use the newer IDE DMA cdrom driver qcdrom is one and there are others

and DR-DOS :) Don't forget that.
ohh and it was a pleasure to talk with you about OS/2.
I Won't, I won't ... I'll bring a video on DR DOS and it's predecessors soon *)
*) roughly 10 episodes away, depending on conditions
@@THEPHINTAGECOLLECTOR In those videos don't forget Concurrent PC-DOS 3.2 and DOSPLUS.SYS (things that they are interesting).

Anyone who was using computers in the DOS days must remember how to set up and use a CD-ROM drive with it. The people asking you must be younger.
Indeed they were …
It seems weird to expect people to just have a 30 year old procedure memorized, which they likely only had to do a few times in their life....
