-
- DEVICE = <path>\ASPIS365.SYS [/PORT=<I/O base address>]
- [/SOCKET=<slot No.>][/INT=<IRQ level>] [/MEM=<base address>]
- [/ADLIB] [/I365RST]
-
- /PORT=XXX
- Since an I/O port is needed for the Sound/CD-ROM Interface Card,
- add this line and specify the base address at XXX using
- a hexadecimal number. The Sound/CD-ROM Interface Card occupies
- 32 bytes of space starting with the specified base address.
- The factory setting is 240h(ASPISDBK.SYS is 280h).
- If the specified address is already being used, specify another
- base address from the following addresses. Also, depending on the
- computer, the I/O port may need to be specified in the Card Manager
- (ASPISMGR.SYS, ASPISDBK.SYS). Refer to your computer manual.
-
- 220 240 260 280
- (220h,240h is not available in ASPISDBK.SYS)
-
- /SOCKET=X
- When you are using a personal computer with more than two PC
- Card slots, add this line and specify the PC Card slot at X meaning
- the PC Card slot you will insert the Sound/CD-ROM Interface Card in.
- If you specify 0 or you don't specify the PC Card slot, the ASPI
- manager searches all PC Card slots, and uses the first PC Card slot
- available.
-
- /ADLIB
- ADLIB 388h-38Bh will be opened as second I/O port.
-
- /INT=X
-
- For IRQ, you may select: 3, 5, 7 or 10(A).
-
- This option sets the IRQ level of the Sound/CD-ROM Interface Card
- using a hexadecimal number. The factory setting is 5.
- Make sure this number does not conflict with another device.
- The IRQ level is not set without this option.
- If you're using the SystemSoft Card Service, choose a number from
- the "IRQ=" entries in the CSALLOC.INI file.
-
- Option effective with ASPISDBK and ASPIS365 only
-
- /MEM=XXXX
- Add this line and specify the memory space's base address to read
- the card information by the segment address (hexadecimal number).
- You need to exclude this specified address in the EMS "X" option
- so that it will not overlap the region of EMS.If you don't specify
- the base address, CE00 is applied, and 8 KB of memory from CE000
- to CFFFF is used.
-
- Option effective with ASPISMGR only
-
- /BOFF
- Setting this option turns off the beep sound that is generated
- when inserting or removing the Sound/CD-ROM Interface Card.
-
- Option effective with ASPIS365 only
-
- /I365RST
- After setting this option, PCMCIA controller chip(i82365)
- should be reset.

- |------------------------------------------------------|
-
- 5. Supplement and Troubleshooting Guide
-
- A. Supplement
-
- (1) You need "Video For Windows", in order to play *.AVI file
- on Windows3.1.
-
- (2) Use Media Player in order to play *.MID file.
-
- (3) Installing D20 Sound/CD-ROM Interface Card's device driver
- disables D720 related Interface Card.
- (-> See 3.CONFIG.SYS after installing software)
-
- (4) ID=7 cannot be set for CD-ROM drive. ID=7 is reserved for
- the Interface Card.
-
- (5) When using ASPIS365, some PC hang up at power on(ex. DEC425SE and
- ThinkPad 350). For such PC, use "/I365RST" Option of ASPIS365.
-
- (6) With HP OMNIBOOk 600C, can not use the function of Adlib
- compatibility on account of its hardware specification.
- Please delete "/ADLIB" Option of ASPI manager in the CONFIG.SYS.
-
- B. Troubleshooting
-
- (1) The sound that accompanies the starting of Windows
- is not generated, while the driver is already installed.
-
- 1. Make sure the cable is properly connected.
- 2. Make sure the Sound/CD-ROM Interface Card is properly inserted
- into the PC Card slot.
- 3. The I/O port or IRQ setting is not correct.
- Change the setting of Configure System in the Install Program.
-
- (2) Installing the driver on a PC with internal Sound Source leads
- to disabling the Internal Sound Source and applications
- related to it.
- Refer to your computer manual for how to enable again the
- Internal Sound Source.
-
- (3) The startup of Windows might not be stable, when the Port 220 is
- specified. This is caused by an overlap with the Port (238h)
- used by Windows Mouse Driver. To avoid this situation, use
- Ports others than 220, using Configure System of Install Program.
-
- (4) The startup of Windows might not be stable, when the Port 260 is
- specified. This is caused by an overlap with the Printer
- Interface (270h-27Fh). To avoid this situation, use Ports others
- than 260, using Configure System of Install Program.
-
- (5) For HP OMNIBOOK 600C's User
- 1. for DOS/Windows3.1(3.11)
- (a)It is necessary to change CONFIG.SYS file.
- Please refer to the section 4. and section 5.A.(6)
- in this README.
- (b)When HP OMNIBOOK came back from the power save mode,
- HP OMNIBOOK cannot recognize the Sound/CD-ROM Interface Card
- in the PC card slot1 of the computer.
- We recommend that you use without the power save mode or
- you use the PC card slot2 of the computer.
-
- 2. for Windows95
- Normally you cannot use the PC Card slot after setting on
- Windows 95. Please refer to the \DRIVERS\PCMCIA\README.TXT in
- Windows 95 CD-ROM.
-
- (6) If your computer use the ASPISMGR.SYS, sometime your computer
- cannot play the wave(.WAV) file in Windows, after you remove/insert
- the Sound/CD-ROM interface card.
- in this case, please change the IRQ No. with using the Setup Disk.
- (for example, we confirmed the IBM ThinkPad 755C have the above
- problem with IRQ=5,10.)
-
- 6. Installing Windows 95 using CD-ROM player
-
- (1) Installing Windows 95 using the KXL-D720 with KXL-D20
- 1. Install KXL-D20 DOS Driver after installing KXL-D720 DOS Driver
- (include with KXL-D720).
-
- 2. Reboot system.
-
- 3. Insert Windows 95 CD-ROM in KXL-D720.
-
- 4. Run Windows 3.1 and run SETUP.EXE from Windows 95 CD-ROM or
- run SETUP.EXE in DOS if Windows 3.1 is not present.
-
- 5. Windows 95 installation will complete; however, the KXL-D20 DOS
- driver will currently be in use by Windows 95. This does not yield
- optimum performance; hence, the KXL-D20 Windows 95 driver should
- be installed. (See step 6)
-
- (2) Installing KXL-D20 Windows 95 Driver
- 6.The following message appears when SETUP is completed.
