Adding module

Reason I query the CD-ROM drivers is that we run a QNX4.25 system and wish
to add the tcp/ip module.

We have received the software on CD. The QNX system hardware has no CD.

We are happy to install a CD, but how will it work, given that

  1. the drivers on the QNX site state Mistumi
  2. no obvious place to download any CD drivers

If the drivers are on the CD, how can we load them when we need the CD unit
installed first?!

Can you not connect a CDROM drive temporarily to do the install (I’m
surprised it doesn’t have the CD-ROM driver already installed)? How did you
install the QNX system originally?

You could install (from the CD) onto a different computer, grab the cdrom
driver and transfer it to the original system (any way you can).

Given that you’re trying to add a tcp/ip module, even if the cdrom drivers
where available to download, I’m not sure how could you download them on a
system without a tcp/ip stack?

Perhaps more information on how the system originally got the QNX OS onto
it, would allow everyone to contribute more ideas on how to get you running.

Andrew,

There are no cd rom drivers. CD-ROM’s are handled by Fsys.eide
