Home F.A.Q. AmigaOS 3.1.4 When mounting the CD file system on an XSurfIDE device, reading large DVDs results in an error

When mounting the CD file system on an XSurfIDE device, reading large DVDs results in an error

Unfortunately, the XSurfIDE neither speaks TD64 nor NSD64, and hence cannot access files beyond the 2GB barrier without a bit of help. For this little help, open the mount list of the CDFS, and add the following tool type to the CD0 icon:


SCSIDirect = 1


Then reboot the machine. This instructs the CD file system to use SCSI commands rather than trackdisk commands to address the disk, and with that, the XSurfIDE can access data beyond the barrier.
