Unable to use DOS version of cdrecord

 I tried the DOS version of cdrecord in a DOS window of
 Windows 98 (MSDOS 7.1) and:
 -If I use the option dev=SCSIMGR$ (the device name ASPI.SYS
  creates for the CD-R driver), I get the error message:
 Invalid argument (EINVAL) Open by "devname" is not
  supported in this OS cannot open or use SCSI driver
 -If I use dev=0,0,0  (the only device cdrecord finds
 with the -scanbus option) I get the message:
 Executing "test unit ready" command on Bus 0, Target 0 Lun 0
 until timeout, then cdrecord exits.
 
 I am quite surprised by the message "open by devname is not
 supported in this OS", since "by name" is the normal way of
 opening a device in DOS.
 More information: The machine has no physical SCSI bus; the
 CD-R drive is an IDE/ATA. The device drivers I use are
 XCDROM.SYS and ASPI.SYS on top of it. The drive reads
 CDs without problem under MSDOS and reads and writes CDs
 under Windows.
 
 Regards
   JAS

JAS,

Which version of cdrecord are you using?

I would recommend that you visit the following page:

http://www.student.tugraz.at/thomas.plank/

and download:

http://www.student.tugraz.at/thomas.plank/cdrtools-2.01.01a58-win32-bin.zip

You might need the DLLs and/or ASPI 32 files.  Take a look there and
you should find what you need.
Run
C:\> cdrecord -scanbus
and use the name that appears there could be something like 0,2,0 so
you would use cdrecord -v -dao dev=0,2,0 .... options ....
Hope this helps in some way.

Regards,

Antonio

They are 3 (real) DOS version available:
- paehl.de and
- i_forgot_the_compiler_name
- a russian project

all of these are now very old versions or unsupported projects :-(

While cdrtools did compile on DOS (using DJGPP) some time ago, what
is the reason for trying to run such a version?

If your binary was compiled correctly, then I would asume that you did not
install a working ASPI driver.

DOS does not support device names at all. There is nothing like explicit
driver access in DOS.

Note that the ASPI driver for Win98 is most likely not accessible in the
DOS emulation and that any driver that have been loaded from DOS (before
running Win98) may not work anymore after Win98 runs.

This is why it is a good idea to compile cdrtools on win32 for win32.
