I was reading an article last night in Amiga World about mountlists.
The article said that the unit # field in the mountlist was determined
by the device type. 0=ram,1=dma,2=floppy,3=SCSI.... This is not
was I am lead to believe by my C Ltd documentation. Also, I'm running
a SCSI device with the unit # field set at 1. I'm assuming the article
is incorrect. Any opinions??

SOunds like another AW FU to me. The UNIT number field should relate to the "drive select" of the device. John | |||||

RE:.0
I agree with .1.
The device is determined by the device driver specified as the
argument to "DEVICE = ". Unit refers to the unit ID of the specific
device. For instance, "DEVICE = trackdisk.device;" identifies the
device drive for the floppy drives. "UNIT = 2;" refers to the third
floppy unit usually refered to as DF2:.
UNIT can also be an arbitrary number with some device drivers
such as the C-Ltd SCSIDOS 3.0 software (release optimized for
AmigaDOS 1.3). My hard disks are configured as 1000, 1010, 2000,
2010, 3000, 4000, and 5000. This numbering scheme only has
significance to me. All C-Ltd requires is no two units be numbers the
same.
