- CD-ROM INSTALLATION LATEST INFORMATION
- ======================================
-
- This file contains information not available prior to the printing of
- the manual.
-
-
- This file contains the following sections:
-
- 1. OS/2 CD-ROM DRIVER
- a. Installation if OS/2 2.x is already installed
- b. Installation of OS/2 2.1 and CD-ROM driver
- c. Description of SBCD2.ADD switches
-
- 2. New Technical Support BBS Number
-
-
- 1. OS/2 CD-ROM DRIVER
-
- An OS/2 compatible CD-ROM device driver is included on this disk.
- The following steps provide instructions on how to install the driver
- with OS/2 versions 2.0 and 2.1.
-
- The file SBCD2.ADD can be used with OS/2 systems which support layered
- CD-ROM device management structure. This structure is supported in
- OS/2 2.1. Users of OS/2 2.0 can use the OS2CDR package which
- contains the OS2CDROM.DMD file for OS/2 2.0. The OS2CDR.ZIP file is
- available on Compuserve, forum IBMOS2.
-
-
- INSTALLATION OF CD-ROM DRIVER IF OS/2 2.x IS ALREADY INSTALLED
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- OS/2 2.0 users--refer to the document provided in the OS2CDR package first.
-
- 1. If you have previously installed OS/2, check whether you have
- the following lines in your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS. If you do, delete them
- (or REM them out) from your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file.
-
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\CDROM.SYS /Q /N:4
-
- 2. The following lines must be in your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file for
- the CD-ROM to work. The "IFS=..." line may already be in your
- OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file. If it is, group it with the lines below;
- otherwise, add it. WARNING: Place these lines near the bottom of
- your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file--there may be problems if you place them
- near the top!
-
- REM ---- NEXT 4 LINES ARE FOR OS/2 CD-ROM SUPPORT -----
- BASEDEV=OS2CDROM.DMD (DO NOT SPECIFY A PATH !)
- BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220 (DO NOT SPECIFY A PATH !)
- IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS
-
- NOTE: The /P:220 specifies the I/O base address used for the Sound
- Blaster Pro or Sound Blaster 16 card. Change this value
- accordingly if your setting is different.
-
- 3. Copy the OS2CDROM.DMD file (on OS/2 2.1 "Diskette 1") to C:\OS2.
-
- 4. Copy the SBCD2.ADD file from this disk to the C:\OS2 directory.
-
- 5. Reboot the system.
-
-
- INSTALLATION OF OS/2 2.1 AND CD-ROM DRIVER
- ------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Make duplicate copies of the IBM OS/2 2.1 diskettes--
- "Installation Diskette" and "Diskette 1"--that come with OS/2 2.1.
- Only make changes to the duplicate diskettes. Keep the original
- diskettes in their original condition!
-
- 2. Copy the SBCD2.ADD file from this disk onto the duplicate OS/2 2.1
- "Diskette 1".
-
- 3. Add in the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file on the
- duplicate "Diskette 1".
-
- BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220
-
- NOTE: The /P:220 specifies the I/O base address used for the Sound
- Blaster Pro or Sound Blaster 16 card. Change this value
- accordingly if your setting is different.
-
- 4. Reboot the system with the disk "Installation Diskette" and
- follow the installation instructions.
-
- 5. After the installation is completed, edit your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file
- to include the following lines. Make sure they appear near the end
- of the file. You will have to manually add two of the following:
-
- BASEDEV=OS2CDROM.DMD (DO NOT SPECIFY A PATH !)
- BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220 (DO NOT SPECIFY A PATH !)
- IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS
-
- NOTE: The /P:220 specifies the I/O base address used for the Sound
- Blaster Pro or Sound Blaster 16 card. Change this value
- accordingly if your setting is different.
-
- 6. Reboot the system.
-
-
- DESCRIPTION OF SBCD2.ADD SWITCHES
- ---------------------------------
-
- /P:xxx
-
- This switch specifies the port address (in hex) of Sound Blaster card
- used. Default setting for xxx is 220.
-
- Example:
-
- BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220
-
-
- The following switches are optional:
-
- /D:a or /D:x [,y] [,z] [,w]
-
- This switch applies only to CR-563 drives. It specifies the drives
- to be run at double transfer speed (300KB/s). The option /D:a
- specifies 'all' daisy-chained drives. You can specify individual
- drives using the ID number of the drive(s) you want to run at double speed.
-
- Example 1:
-
- BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /D:a
-
- Example 2:
-
- BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /D:1,3
-
-
- /N:a or /N:x [,y] [,z] [,w]
-
- This switch applies only to CR-563 drives. It specifies the drives
- to be run at normal transfer speed (150KB/s). The option /N:a specifies
- 'all' daisy-chained drives. You can specify individual drives using
- the ID number of drive(s) that you want to run at normal speed.
-
- Example 1:
-
- BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /N:a
-
- Example 2:
-
- BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /N:0,2
-
-
- NOTE : The default is double transfer speed whenever it is possible.
- If the same drive has been set more than once, the last
- setting will take effect.
-
-
- /T:1 or /T:2
-
- This switch specifies the type of card being used; 1 for standard
- sound card and 2 for CD-ROM interface card.
-
-
- 2. New Technical Support BBS Number
-
- The technical support bulletin board number has been changed to
- 405-742-6660. Please note this change in your manual.
