RamFAST Media Control Drivers Copyright 1994-1995, Sequential Systems Inc What are these? These drivers allow you to play audio CD's (all-music CD's, like The Beatles or King's X) on your CD-ROM drive with a RamFAST SCSI interface card. Until now, there has been no way to play audio CD's in any CD-ROM hooked up to a RamFAST board. V1.2 Change Notes There is a new driver, RF.SCSI2. This is for use with SCSI-2 standard CD-ROM drives such as Quality's "Q-Drive CD". Various misc. bugs may or may not have been fixed. :-) This release is mainly for the addition of the SCSI2 driver. V1.1 Change Notes v1.0 mistakenly required that the RamFAST card be in slot 7, or the drivers would not function properly. The RamFAST may now be in any slot. How do I install them? First off, you need to install the Media Control toolkit. This is found on the Apple IIGS System Install disks. Run the installer and choose "Custom" install. Then, select and install "Media: CD-150". Quit the installer, and copy the RF. file that corresponds to your CD-ROM drive to the *:System:Drivers:Media.Control directory ("*" is your boot volume). At this point, reboot the computer to make sure the new files you installed are activated. Open the Control Panel NDA, and open the new "Media Control" panel. Here you want to pick the RF. name that you installed (there will also be "AppleCDSC", this driver only works for the Apple SCSI card). Close up the control panel, and open the "Media Controller" NDA. Put an audio CD in your CD-ROM drive, click "Play", and away you go! Note: the "CD-Remote" NDA, while it looks nicer than "Media Controller", is hard-coded to work only with the Apple CD-150 and an Apple SCSI card. What else can I do with my CD-ROM Drive? I'm glad you asked that, because I'm pleased to tell you that you can also use 15 gargantuan multimedia CD's on your IIGS with the discQuest software.
