Due to popular request, the following is how I have configured Quickbbs to 
work with multiple cd-roms using the Pioneer DRM600 player. I assume no 
responsbility for damage to your system, if implemented and make no promises
that it will work on your system. (However it should)

Setting up the Pioneer DRM-600 to work with Quickbbs consists of several
steps. Make sure you do each one. It works here and has been for over one
year using 6 CD-ROMS.

1. Decide how you want your system setup. Do you want a seperate file area
for each CD (the way I do it here) or do you want the cd-rom file areas as
a continuation of your regular file areas (be advised you are limited to
only 200 file areas this way and adding 6 cd-roms will undoubtedly go beyond 
this limit) The following instruction assume one menu choice for each CD.

2. Make one subdir on your hardrive for each cd-rom you will be using. I named
mine as : 
i:\crs4   for carrs 4
i:\crs5   for carrs 5
i:\crs6   for carrs 6
i:\rom2   for rom2
i:\hof    for Hall of Fame
i:\ham    for Ham 

3. Place the files.bbs listing for each cd-rom in the appropriate subdir.
You can name these listings whatever you want but I tried to make them
match the dir listings included with the cd's. (Note: Some CD's, especially
the Carrs have multiple dirs in one dir listing. You will need to edit these
and make seperate listings.) ie: DIR01 on Carrs 4.1 includes all files
in the cd sub directories 001a, 001b and 001c. I edited the DIR01 file to
be dir01a, dir01b and dir01c.

NOTE: during the next steps you need to make sure that no one accesses the
BBS while you are building the necessary files.

4. Go to your bbs directory and ren filecfg.dat to filecfg.nrm (this is your
regular file areas. 

5. Run Qconfig and go into the files area. ( it should be empty)

6. Now enter the needed info into qconfig for whatever CD you are using as
follows:

Name: (this is the name of the file area) ex: Terminal Programs
File path: (path to the cd-rom subdir)   ex: w:\001a
File list: (path to the file listings in step 3) ex: i:\crs4\dir01a

Fill in the security and flag info as you require (nothing special here)

7. When you have finished entering all the info for one CD, exit qconfig with
the save option. You now have a full filecfg.dat again for one CD. Rename
the filecfg.dat to an appropriate name. I use:
filecfg.cr4   (carrs 4)
filecfg.cr5   (carrs 5)
filecfg.cr6   (carrs 6)
filecfg.rm2   (Rom 2)
filecfg.hof   (Hall of Fame)
filecfg.ham   (Ham files)

8. You should now have 2 files, one called filecfg.nrm and another called
filecfg.??? (where ??? is the extension you used).

9. Repeat steps 5 thru 7 until you have built a filecfg.??? for each CD_ROM
you will be using.

10. Copy filecfg.nrm back to filecfg.dat (DON'T RENAME IT!! COPY IT!!!)

11. At this point you should have one filecfg.??? for each CD, one for your
normal files called filecfg.nrm and a filecfg.dat in your bbs subdirectory.

12. The hard part is now done. Next, build a menu to access each of the
file areas. (see the included file getrom.mnu) (NOTE: each entry is a 
type 15 exit using a specific error level for each CD and calling file1.mnu
as a file template)

13. Build a menu for accessing each area. ( I use file templating, so I only
have one of these. (see the included file file1.mnu)

14. Go to your BBS batch file and add the following for each errorlevel
you used in step 12. (Add the lines marked with <---) NOTE: Make sure you add
the line that copies your filecfg.nrm back to filecfg.dat when the user logs
off. 

e:
cd\fd\qbbs
quickbbs -b%1 -t%3 -e0
if errorlevel 90 goto filenrm  <---
if errorlevel 89 goto filecr4  <---
if errorlevel 88 goto filehof  <---
if errorlevel 87 goto filecr5  <---
if errorlevel 86 goto fileham  <---
if errorlevel 85 goto filerm2  <---
if errorlevel 84 goto filecr6  <---
if errorlevel 5 goto net&echo
if errorlevel 4 goto echo_only
if errorlevel 3 goto net_only
copy filecfg.nrm filecfg.dat   <---  DON'T Forget this line
cd\fd
qb1.bat

:filenrm
cd e:\fd\qbbs
copy filecfg.nrm filecfg.dat
quickbbs -R -E0
goto after_quick

:filecr4
cd e:\fd\qbbs
copy filecfg.cr1 filecfg.dat
quickbbs -R -E0
goto after_quick

:filehof
cd e:\fd\qbbs
copy filecfg.hof filecfg.dat
quickbbs -R -E0
goto after_quick

:filecr5
cd e:\fd\qbbs
copy filecfg.cr2 filecfg.dat
quickbbs -R -E0
goto after_quick

:fileham
cd e:\fd\qbbs
copy filecfg.ham filecfg.dat
quickbbs -R -E0
goto after_quick

:filecr6
cd e:\fd\qbbs
copy filecfg.cr2 filecfg.dat
quickbbs -R -E0
goto after_quick

:filerm2
cd e:\fd\qbbs
copy filecfg.ham filecfg.dat
quickbbs -R -E0
goto after_quick

:after_quick
if errorlevel 90 goto filenrm  <---
if errorlevel 89 goto filecr4  <--- 
if errorlevel 88 goto filehof  <---
if errorlevel 87 goto filecr5  <---
if errorlevel 86 goto fileham  <---
if errorlevel 85 goto filerm2  <---
if errorlevel 84 goto filecr6  <---
if errorlevel 5 goto net&echo
if errorlevel 4 goto echo_only
if errorlevel 3 goto net_only
copy filecfg.nrm filecfg.dat   <--- DON'T FORGET this line (it restores your
                                    system to normal again)
cd\fd
qb1.bat
  


15. You should now be ready to go with 6 CD-Roms and quickbbs. 

16. A few Notes:

a. DON'T try to use a type 7 exit on the menus. You must totally exit
the bbs and return to make it read the new configuration files.

b. If you are still having problems or have any recommendations feel free
to netmail me at:   1:170/801 Fidonet or 150:225/801 QBBSnet

c. This works great here on a singleline system. If you are running multi-
line and both lines have access to the CD it will NOT work.
