Scsi Bus Scan functionality- some testing help wanted

[Eagle]

Some time ago I created functionality to scan the systems Scsi Bus settings,
verify valid CDRom devices, get the assign drive letters, Device Name and the
actual Scsi bus port settings- ready for use with Burning Programs.

I added functionality to detect and filter out 'virtual drives'.

I would very much appreciate some testers for this,
refinement suggestions etc. USB drives testing would be great.

Many thanks in advance
Martin.

Congradulations! It worked perfectly on my PC.

[Eagle]

Good..keep it com'in folks when ya got the time...

filtering virtual drives - detection reliablity ...

[Corey]

Seems to work here, it added only my burner drive to the list.

[Intrigued]

The project listed only my burner, but then I only have one drive installed on this laptop.

Found mine no problem see screenshot.

Hexellent..anyone with virtual drives..were these detected and Not populated in Combo box ? tks

Thanks for the testing so far folks

[Corey]

I just added a virtual drive (Alcohol 120, no reboot) and it didn't detect it. I'm not sure if that info is of any value but I figured I'd let you know.

[Eagle]

Yep, was the 'device' fully available to system before a reboot ?
(or did it 'make it' into the combobox ? ) tks for that

[Corey]

Yes, you can use it without reboot. I'm not sure about "fully", there may be a difference between running before/after a reboot. I'll check later and let you know.

TKS ..somethings up with the code..Not detecting latest daemons tools V4
either..the target hex values for virtual drives is correct..somethings up with
the bus port enumeration or similar in my code.. I'll get back when she's work'n (again)

That'll teach me to 'fix' what aint broke.

Failure to Identify 'Virtual CDR' devices fixed:

for retesting below v1.05 , tks

[Eagle]

for those still interested ...

revamped device cycle enumeration: now in keeping with
valid system cdrom device number allocation.
Tightened device matching during Bus-scan cycle:
now matches device 'number' with Device target.

V1.1 .this finalises testing uploads, unless you find a bug.

tks again for your time.

On my system I have a CD-RW/DVD reader combo (Dell installed) and a DVD-RW/CD-RW combo drive. Your app picks up the DVD-RW, but not the CD-RW. Attached are screenshots showing your app and what Nero detects for my system.

[Eagle]

OK thks Brett, I think I know whats going on...boolean returns
may be exiting the cycling of devices.. I'll wack another CDR in my
test machine..

wack this in after code line 47:

Dialog.Message(nDevEnum, strDevname);

see if cycling properly.

more to do... (this app was work'n for mutliple valid devices - untill I decided to revamp it ) !
