Question: I have created an image file which I would like to mount before I burn it. I want to check that everything is okay before I burn. How do I do that?
Answer:
We always use cdromemu.device, which can be downloaded from our Homepage. This should be included with AmiCD-ROM v1.15 too. You need to copy the mountlist entry for your CD-ROM drive and enter the device as Device cdromemu.device and Unit 0. You may need to put your CD-ROM file system in trackdisk mode. For details on how to do that, please check the instructions for the file system, or ask the person whom supplied you
with the CD-ROM file system, or ask the author of the file system.
We were unable to get BabelCDROMFS running with cdromemu.device. Incidentally, the trick with cdromemu.device will only work if the image for an empty CD-R was created. So it is not possible to test MultiVolume or MultiSession images in advance. In addition, the image file must have a block size of 2048. Raw data (e.g. Mode2 image files) cannot be tested with cdromemu.device
