EXS24 Re-Authorization from CD W98 IDE & UDMA Problem
2001-02-26 by johnmattson@musician.org
I think I have finally solved my problem with EXS24 re-
authoriaztion, so I will share it with you just in case it pops up
for others.
Running LAWP 4.61 on W98 2ed. EXS24 installed fine from the CD
and worked until the first time EXS24 requested a re-authorization.
I put in the CD, Small window said "reading CD" and it hung forever,
Had to ALT CTRL DEL and re-boot. Could not get past that.
I have an IDE CD drive on my secondary IDE connector using a
regular IDE cable. I have UDMA drives on my Primary IDE connector
using UDMA 100 cable. On a whim, I decided to disconnect the UDMA
devices, and it re-authorization worked fine. I can only guess that
EXS24 got hung up trying to read the UDMA devices, or couldn't make
the transition from checking the UDMA to checking the IDE.
So, eMagic, I have done your research for you, now please fix
it.
