Device Driver INFORMATION
------------------------- Jan 1995
This README file contains some additional information to supplement that
contained in the User's Manual.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRD600.SYS , DRD60PS.SYS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SCSI interface borad
DRD600.SYS is the device driver for FUTURE DOMAIN SCSI interface
board (8bit, 16bit and microchannel) or it's compatible (PIONEER DD-C5002).
DRD60PS.SYS is the device driver for IBM PS/2 SCSI Adapter /A.
Please use the appropriate driver for your interface board.
DRD60ASP.SYS is an ASPI device driver. It will work with any host
adapter that support the ASPI protocol. See later information.
2. MPC.COM utility
This utility is a remote control software to reproduce an audio CD for
Pioneer's CD-ROM drive, DRM-600, DRM-604X, DRM-602X, DRM-624X and DR-124X.
It dose not work with DR-S104X.
3. DISC.EXE utility
The DRD600 series device driver can handle a maximum of 24 Discs.
Some of the currently available applications can only work on systems
that have a desiginated drive letter and subunit number. The DISC.EXE
utility program allows the desigination of the CD-ROM subunit No. to
be in any desired order, but only in conjunction with the DRD600
series Device Driver.
The use of this program is explaind below;
To see the current order of the Discs.
>DISC cd-rom_device_name
>DISC cd-rom_drive_letter:
The drive letter is required ':'.
To change the current order of the Discs.
>DISC cd-rom_device_name [-R] no1 no2 .....
The position of the number to be changed is switched with the
position of the number its replacing. Using the -R option reseting
of the order from 0 upwards is possible.
To exchange two drive letters.
>DISC cd-rom_drive_letter: cd-rom_drive_letter:
4. DRDUTL.EXE utility
The DRD600 series device driver and the MSCDEX.EXE allows the MS-DOS
to add multiple CD-ROM drives. Currently, some applications will waste
time do useless actions or can't handle the device driver error messages,
if multiple CD-ROM drives are connected. This utility changes the driver's
behavior (mode) to permit the optimum performance of this type of
application. Use this utility only when your application program requests
this kind of change of mode.
The use of this program is explained below:
To see the current mode.
>DRDUTL CD-ROM_device_name
>DRDUTL CD-ROM_drive_letter:
The drive letter is required ':'.
To change the current mode.
>DRDUTL CD-ROM_device_name switch [switch] ..
>DRDUTL CD-ROM_drive_letter: switch [switch] ..
switch
DSKCHK:ON(OFF) Enables or disables the disc check operation.
SEEK:ON(OFF) Enables or disables the seek operation.
VDRTRY:ON(OFF) Enables or disables "Invalid Medium Change"
error message when reading the Volume Descriptor.
Follow the setting of these switches as the application request.
---------------------------- Attention --------------------------------
The IBM SCSI Adapter /A interface board checks the SCSI devices when
the computer is booted up. If the SCSI device doesn't answer correctly,
the device isn't available once the computer has booted up. Please turn
the power of the drive on before or at the same time as that of the
computer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRD60ASP.SYS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRD60ASP.SYS is an ASPI device driver for Pioneer's CDROM drives.
It supports Multisession PhotoCD, and will autosearch for drives.
ASPI
-----------------------------------------------------------
YOU MUST HAVE THE ASPI MANAGER FOR YOUR SCSI CARD!!!!!!!!!!
The ASPI manager software is provided by the SCSI card vendor, not Pioneer.
Examples:
Adaptec ASPIxDOS.SYS
Future Domain ASPICAM.SYS or ASPIFD.SYS
UltraStor USPI.SYS
NOTE: Many ASPI managers require the "/L" parameter to support Logical
Units. Without Logical Unit support, only the top disc can be accessed.
The ASPI manager must be in CONFIG.SYS *BEFORE* DRD60ASP.SYS.
INSTALLING DRD60ASP.SYS
-----------------------------------------------------------
(Release version will come with installation software)
Create a directory on your hard drive:
"md c:\pioneer"
Copy the floppy to that directory:
"copy a:\*.* c:\pioneer"
Edit CONFIG.SYS
Add the DEVICE statement BELOW the ASPI manager
"DEVICE=C:\PIONEER\DRD60ASP.SYS /D:MSCD000"
^^^^^^^^^^^ MATCH
EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT
Add mscdex.exe BEFORE windows or any menu program:
"C:\PIONEER\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000"
^^^^^^^^^^^ MATCH
NOTE: The "/D:" parameters do not have to be "MSCD000", but they must match.
Use something else ("MSCD001", for example) if another driver is using
"MSCD000".
