- 2. INSTALLATION PROCESS
-
- During the installation of 82C929 Windows 95 driver,
- the installation program will insert a line in AUTOEXEC.BAT to
- invoke the SND4DOS program to install the 82c929 DOS driver.
- After installed the Windows 95 driver, the Windows 95 asks for
- a reboot to make the new hardware (in this case, sound device)
- to work properly. After reboot, the SND4DOS will be invoked and
- bring up the DOS driver installation program (install.com on the
- installation disk ) to install the DOS driver and remove the line
- SND4DOS inserted in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
-
- Please follow the following procedure to install the software:
-
- 1. Follow the installation guideline provided with 929 Windows 95
- driver to install the Windows 95 driver.

- have a chance to re-setup your sound card support for DOS
- later. Just type C:\SND4DOS at your Real Mode DOS Prompt.
-
-
- DOS INSTALL.COM will do the followings for you:
-
- a.) Create the directory \SOUND16 in your hard disk drive.

- you have finished the installation and have rebooted your
- machine, you will be ready to use the sound card.
-
- c.) Copy the files in your floppy disk to the SOUND16 directory.
-
- d.) Update your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files

- card. Each time you change or add a CD-ROM to your sound card.
- The line "DEVICE=CDSETUP.SYS..." will be added to the first line
- of your CONFIG.SYS file before the CD-ROM device driver line.
- CDSETUP.SYS is defined as follows:
-
- DEVICE=[drive:]\[directory]\CDSETUP.SYS /T:[M/S/P/I/X] /P:[addr]
- /I:[IRQ] /D:[DMA]
-
- [drive] = drive where you have the driver installed
- [directory] = directory where the driver is located
- [M/S/P/I/X] = M stands for Mitsumi
- S stands for SONY
- P stands for PANASONIC
- I stands for IDE drive
- X stands for disabled
-
- [address] = Port address for CD-ROM (320, 330, 340, 360)
-
- [IRQ] = Interrupt number (5,7,9,10,11)
-
- [DMA] = DMA channel (0, 1, 3)
-
- For example, the following line sets up the interface for a
- Mitsumi CD-ROM:
-
- DEVICE=C:\SOUND16\CDSETUP.SYS /T:M /P:340 /I:10
-
- If you did not specify the /I or /D options, CDSETUP will
- automatically choose the default setting for the CD-ROM type
- your have specified.
-
- - For Mitsumi, the IRQ is 10 and DMA is disabled.
- - For SONY, they are both disabled.
- - FOR PANASONIC, they are both disabled.
-
- For IDE drive, you need to just specify the /T:I option.
- Specifying any other option in addition to this will be ignored.
- The I/O Port and Interrupt for IDE is located at 170H and Int 15.
