4 Error Messages when installing software
5 Sample CONFIG.SYS Files
6 I/O Base Address
7 Supplemental Troubleshooting Guide
1 ASPI Manager
The following table lists the ASPI(Advanced SCSI Programming Interface)
managers available for the Sound/CD-ROM Interface Card.
(1) ASPISMGR.SYS
For the case when the computer has both Card Service and
Socket Service.
(2) ASPISDBK.SYS
For the case when the computer has only Databook CardTalk.
(3) ASPIS365.SYS
For the case when the computer has neither Card Service
nor Socket Service. This Driver directly controls the PCMCIA
controller chip(Intel i82365 100% compatible LSI).
1-1 Command Line Options
DEVICE = <path>\ASPISMGR.SYS [/PORT=<I/O base address>]
[/SOCKET=<slot No.>] [/INT=<IRQ level>] [/ADLIB] [/BOFF]
DEVICE = <path>\ASPISDBK.SYS [/PORT=<I/O base address>]
[/SOCKET=<slot No.>] [/INT=<IRQ level>] [/MEM=<base address>]
[/ADLIB]
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.
/MEM=XXXX (This option effective with ASPISDBK and ASPIS365 only)
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.
/BOFF (This option effective with ASPISMGR only)
Setting this option turns off the beep sound that is generated
when inserting or removing the Sound/CD-ROM Interface Card.
/I365RST (This option effective with ASPIS365 only)
After setting this option, PCMCIA controller chip(Intel i82365)
should be reset.

5 Sample CONFIG.SYS Files
This section gives instructions about putting the device drivers
(Card manager, ASPI manager, CD-ROM device driver) into your
CONFIG.SYS file.
Each driver must be in the CONFIG.SYS file in the following order.
**********************************************************************
* (1) Expanded Memory Manager (such as EMM386.EXE) *
* (2) Card Manager (Card Service / CardTalk) *
* (3) ASPI Manager (ASPISMGR.SYS / ASPISDBK.SYS / ASPIS365.SYS) *
* (4) CD-ROM Device Driver KMECD.SYS *
* (5) LASTDRIVE *
**********************************************************************
(1) Expanded Memory Manager (EMM386.EXE)
It is necessary to set up the memory manager (EMM386.EXE) so that
it does not occupy the memory space used for the CIS (Card Information
Structure).
(2) Card Manager (Card Service / CardTalk)
Both the ASPISMGR.SYS and the ASPISDBK.SYS controls the PC cards
through card managers. Therefore, the DOS system requires that the
card manager be installed. Usually, the card manager is supplied
with your computer.
(3) ASPI Manager
The ASPI manager should be installed with the kind of card managers
that fit it. An installation program (supplied on the setup disk)
selects a suitable ASPI manager and installs it automatically.
(4) CD-ROM Device Driver KMECD.SYS
The installation program on the setup disk automatically installs
the CD-ROM device driver after the ASPI manager.
(5) LASTDRIVE
Through the Lastdrive command, the final valid drive letter is set.
The installation program on the setup disk sets this line after the
CD-ROM device driver.

6 I/O Base Address
You can usually use the base addresses of the I/O port listed under
the description of "/PORT=" option in the ASPI manager. (See 1-1)
However, some of them cannot be used on some computers.
For example:
********************************************************************
* PC * Unavailable Base Address *
********************************************************************
* Panasonic CF-580C * 240, 280 *
*(Card Service Version)* (changeable by "/IOW=" option) *
********************************************************************
* TI travel mate4000M * 220 *
********************************************************************
* HP OMNIBook 600C * 220, 260 *
********************************************************************
7 Supplemental Troubleshooting Guide
7-1 Supplement
(1) You need "Video For Windows", in order to play *.AVI file
on Windows 3.1(3.11).
(2) Use Media Player in order to play *.MID file.
(3) SCSI ID=7 cannot be set for CD-ROM drive. SCSI ID=7 is reserved for
the Interface Card.
(4) When using ASPIS365, some PC hang up at power on (ex. DEC 425SE and
IBM ThinkPad 350). For such PC, use "/I365RST" Option of ASPIS365.
(5) 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.
(6) Base address of the I/O on the Databook Card Service
If you use the Databook Card Service, you must set the base address
of I/O in the description of the Card Manager on the CONFIG.SYS file.
EXAMPLE of the CONFIG.SYS:
*******************************************************************
* DEVICE=C:\CARDTALK\TMB240.SYS /io:240 *
* DEVICE=C:\CARDTALK\CTALKCS.EXE *
* DEVICE=C:\CARDTALK\CARDTALK.SYS /A /IOW=300-31F /MEMW=D000-D7FF *(A)
*******************************************************************
As shown above in (A), specify the address of I/O using the "/IOW="
option. By default, it will assign 300-31F. When you use another
device (such as a sound card) together with this CD-ROM drive, you
will have to allocate the address of I/O to both of them by using the
"/IOW=" option:
DEVICE=C:\CARDTALK\CARDTALK.SYS /A /IOW=280-29F /IOW=388-38B ...
(7) Examining the PCMCIA controller chip(Intel i82365)
When the PC supplies neither Card Service nor Socket Service, and has
Intel i82365 (or 100% compatible) as PCMCIA controller chip, the
installation program on the setup disk installs the ASPIS365.SYS file
automatically. This ASPI manager controls the PCMCIA controller
directly.
The ASPIS365.SYS doesn't operate on Databook PCMCIA controller chip,
because it is set on the condition of using Intel i82365.
You can look at the PCMCIA controller chip as follows:
(A) At the DOS prompt, type 'DEBUG'
This command usually exists in the directory C:\DOS.
(B) Write '0' into the 3E0h of the I/O port.
(C) Read the returned value 3E1h of the I/O port.
(D) Hit 'q' to quit DEBUG.COM
***************************
* C:\DOS>DEBUG <enter> *<- (A)
* -o 3E0 0 <enter> *<- (B)
* -i 3E1 <enter> *<- (C)
* -83 *<- TEST RESULT
* -q <enter> *<- (D)
* C:\DOS> *
***************************
A result value of 82, 83 and 84 indicates that the PC is using Intel
i82365 (or compatible LSI), and the ASPIS365.SYS should operate.
When 'FF' appears as the result value, you cannot use the ASPIS365.SYS.
In such a case, there is a possibility that the PC is using the
Databook PCMCIA controller. If so, you must setup both CardTalk and
the ASPISDBK.SYS to use the CD-ROM drive.
(8) In case the PC hangs up in Windows 3.1(3.11)
When operating the CD-ROM soft under Windows, there is a chance that
the PC will hang up and you can not operate the CD-ROM software.
The cause is probably a problem in the computer set-up.
Please also refer to the CD-ROM soft manual as well as the computer,
DOS and Windows 3.1(3.11) manual.
(9) Playing an audio CD on Windows 3.1(3.11) MediaPlayer
If you wish to play an audio CD on the MediaPlayer
through Windows3.1(3.11), you must add the "[MCI] CD Audio"
driver program.
(A) Double click on icon 'Main'. (on Program Manager)
(B) Double click on icon 'Control Panel'.
(C) Double click on icon 'Drivers'.
If you find "[MCI] CD Audio" in it, you do not have to change
its setting. Quit this procedure.
(D) Click 'Add' button.
(E) Click "[MCI] CD Audio".
(F) Follow the instructions on your screen.
(10) Using the Multimedia Applications on Windows 95
If you wish to play an audio CD, or to record,
store and playback voice, music and FM sound on your PC,
you must add the appropriate Multimedia Application (CD Player,
Media Player, Sound Recorder or Volume Control).
(A) Insert the Sound/CD-ROM Interface Card into
the PC Card slot.
(B) Click the 'Start' button, point to 'Settings',
and then click the 'Control Panel'.
(C) Double-click the 'Add/Remove Programs' icon.
(D) Click the 'Windows Setup' tab,
click the 'Multimedia', and then click 'Details'.
(E) Click the check box on Multimedia Application(s) that you wish
to add, and click 'OK'.
(F) Click 'OK' again, and follow the instructions on
your screen.
(11) Using SMARTDRV.EXE Ver. 5.0 for CD-ROM drive cache
MSCDEX.EXE Ver. 2.23 (supplied on the setup disk) enables you to cache
CD-ROM with SMARTDRV.EXE Ver. 5.0 supplied by DOS on your computer.
By using this command, it enables the CD-ROM to read data at a higher
speed. (Some do not follow this rule.)
To engage this function, you should specify SMARTDRV.EXE after
MSCDEX.EXE on the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
This CD-ROM installation program specifies MSCDEX.EXE to the top of
the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Therefore, after putting SMARTDRV.EXE in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT and executing the install program, the cache operation
will be operable.
If you want to disable the cache, edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and move
the added MSCDEX.EXE line behind the SMARTDRV.EXE line.
(12) Connecting to SCSI I/F board on desktop computer
If you are using the CD-ROM with a desktop computer, a SCSI board is
necessary. If you are already using a SCSI board, before you apply
this CD-ROM's installation program, check the CONFIG.SYS and the
AUTOEXEC.BAT files to make sure there is nothing related to CD-ROM.
If there is something like the following, please erase it.
For example:
In the CONFIG.SYS file
DEVICE=C:\<Path>\ASPICD.SYS /d:ASPICD0
DEVICE=C:\<Path>\CUNI_ASP.SYS
In the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
C:\<Path>\CORELCDX
(13) Computers which have a PC card slot and are using another company's
SCSI card
In the case where you will connect this CD-ROM to a computer which
has a PC card slot, and you already are using another brand SCSI card,
before you apply this CD-ROM's installation program, check the
CONFIG.SYS and the AUTOEXEC.BAT files to make sure there is nothing
related to the ASPI manager on the CD-ROM. If there is, please erase
it.
For example:
In the CONFIG.SYS file
DEVICE=C:\<Path>\ASPIMGR.SYS
DEVICE=C:\<Path>\MA460.SYS
DEVICE=C:\<Path>\ASPICD.SYS /d:ASPICD0
DEVICE=C:\<Path>\CUNI_ASP.SYS
In the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
C:\<Path>\CORELCDX
(14) Terminator setting
Please set the terminator switch according to the conditions of the
CD-ROM player.
ON: when the player is connected to the computer system.
OFF: when using independently as an audio player (power
consumption can be saved).
The factory setting is ON.
(15) Insertion / Removal of the PC card with the power on
If you are using the card manager(Card Service and Socket Service),
you can insert or take out the PC card with the computer turned on.
For example, you have connected the CD-ROM player, and then you want
to use the FAX modem card. Change the card to the FAX modem card and
use. Then, change it back to the PC card and continue.
However, in this case if you leave the computer power on, also leave
the CD-ROM power on, and put the card into the slot. If there is more
than one card slot, make sure to put the PC card back into the same
slot as before.
(16) Installing Windows 95 using CD-ROM player
(A) Installing Windows 95 using the KXL-D745
1. Install KXL-D745 DOS Driver.
2. Reboot system.
3. Insert Windows 95 CD-ROM in KXL-D745.
4. Run Windows 3.1(3.11) and run SETUP.EXE from Windows 95 CD-ROM
or run SETUP.EXE in DOS if Windows 3.1(3.11) is not present.
5. Windows 95 installation will complete; however,
the KXL-D745 DOS driver will currently be in use by Windows 95.
This does not yield optimum performance;
hence, the KXL-D745 Windows 95 driver should be installed.
(See step 6)
(B) Installing KXL-D745 Windows 95 Driver
6. The following message appears when SETUP is completed.
*******************************************************************
System Properties / Performance
ASPISMGR in CONFIG.SYS forces MS-DOS compatibility mode.
Compatibility mode paging reduces overall system performance.
PC card (PCMCIA) devices are not using 32-bit support.
*******************************************************************
Click [OK] to ignore this message. Meanwhile, PCMCIA
controller chip(i82365) is unavailable on Windows 95.
7. Double click on PC Card(PCMCIA) icon inside the Control Panel to
enable PCIC(PCMCIA controller chip) on Windows 95.
8. When prompted by the PC Card Wizard, select [No]
and select [Next>]. Then select [Next>] again.
9. To restart your computer, in order to enable 32-bit support,
click [Finish] after removing the PC card from your computer's
PCMCIA card slot.
Hereafter, please follow the Operating Instructions Manual.
If you need more information, please refer to SETUP.TXT or GENERAL.TXT
of Windows 95 about installing Windows 95 using CD-ROM player.
7-2 Troubleshooting
(1) The sound that accompanies the starting of Windows 3.1(3.11)
is not generated, while the driver is already installed.
* Make sure the cable is properly connected.
* Make sure the Sound/CD-ROM Interface Card is properly inserted
into the PC Card slot.
* The I/O port or IRQ setting is not correct.
Change the setting of Configure System in the Install Program.
(2) The Sound/CD-ROM Interface Card device driver does not work
correctly, even if this driver had been installed on Windows 95.
Follow the steps below to determine if these is a problem.
(A) Click the 'Start' button, point to 'Settings',
and then click 'Control Panel'.
(B) Double-click the 'System' icon.
(C) Click the 'Device Manager' tab, click on 'Multi-function adapters'.
If there is a circled exclamation point on
the 'Panasonic KXLC101' icon, the type of problem will be displayed
in the 'Properties' for the 'Panasonic KXLC101'.
You may also use the Help troubleshooters included with Windows 95.
(3) Installing the driver on Windows 3.1(3.11) 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.
(4) The startup of Windows 3.1(3.11) 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.
(5) The startup of Windows 3.1(3.11) 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.
(6) If your computer use the ASPISMGR.SYS, sometime your computer
cannot play the wave(.WAV) file in Windows 3.1(3.11),
after you remove/insert the Sound/CD-ROM Interface Card.
In this case, please change the IRQ No. with using Configure
System of Install Program.
(for example, we confirmed the IBM ThinkPad 755C have the above
problem with IRQ=5, 10.)
(7) For HP OMNIBook 600C's User
* for DOS / Windows 3.1(3.11)
(A) It is necessary to change CONFIG.SYS file.
Please refer to the section 6 and section 7 7-1 (5)
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.
* for Windows 95
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.
(8) For Compaq contura aero 4/33c's User
The ASPISMGR.SYS itself does not need interruption request,
although some kinds of Card Services need "/INT" option to assign
the IRQ level used in the Card Configuration process.
Make sure "/INT" option's number does not conflict with another device.
The IRQ level is not set without "/INT" option.
If you're using the SystemSoft Card Service, choose a number from
the "IRQ=" entries in the CSALLOC.INI file.
