Dear Grant,
I'm very happy for your answer, and I did not want to sound unfriendly.
I am able to use the CDROM under Dos and Win95 with the same Driver. The Image
is for the CD-Star.
I usualy boot my Linux with Loadlin but I tried it also with my
bootdisk after warm reboot and initializing the driver with dos. I've loaded the
driver into the uppermemory and tried it without.
What is the Xilinx truth table, do I have to know more about it. Sometimes my
IBM Thinkpad 755c is different from the standard. Can I do some more settings?
Thank You very much
Jörg Schöpel
