- IBM OS/2 2.x / 3.x IDE CD driver for IDE CDROM drives
- November 7,1994
-
-
- This package conatins the drivers for IDE CDROM drives
-
-
- You MUST use these NEW files to replace the existing copies supplied
- by whatever version of OS/2 you are using.
-
-
-
- Installation if OS/2 2.1 or WARP is already installed on your fixed disk
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- 1. you must run Selective Install to install the files for the OS/2 CD-ROM
- Device Manager and OS/2 CD-ROM File System.
-
- a. Open the OS/2 System folder on the desktop.
- b. Open the System Setup folder.
- c. Open Selective Install
- d. Select the CD-ROM Device Support check box
- e. Select OK
- f. Scroll to the bottom of the CD-ROM device list table and
- select the choice OTHER (OS/2 2.1) or Non-listed IDE CD-ROM (WARP)
- g. Select OK
- h. Select the OK push button to proceed from the System Configuration
- screen to the OS/2 Setup and Installation window
- i. Select Install
- j. When prompted to do so, insert the numbered installation diskette.
-
-
- 2. Copy the files provided in this package OVER those installed in step 1,
- to their proper location on your system. On Warp this is \OS2\BOOT.
- check by doing a 'DIR IBM1S506.ADD /S' on your system <== DIR command
-
- 3. IDE CD roms that adhere to the ATAPI specification of February 1994
- will be detected automatically if they are configured on the Primary or
- Secondary IDE channel. If your IDE channel is not the primary or secondary,
- or if your IDE channel is not using the default io ports and IRQs, do a
- 'HELP IBM1S506.ADD' at an OS/2 command prompt to get detailed information
- on changing or adding channels.
-
- 4. Some drives do not respond to an ATAPI command from the February Spec.
- These drives can not be auto detected and require an additional parameter
- on the IBM1S506.ADD line in config.sys. The NEC 260 drive, for example,
- requires this additional parameter.
-
- BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:x /U:y /ATAPI
-
- where x is the adapter number and y is the unit number.
-
- /A:
-
- Which IDE drive connector on your adapter contains the cable
- that the NEC 260 IDE drive is connected to
-
- IF you have only one IDE controller, this is Adapter 0, /A:0
-
- IF you have TWO IDE controllers, and the IDE CDROM is connected to
- the second controller cable, this is Adapter 1, /A:1
-
- The Enhanced IDE specifications allow for FOUR adapters, so
- /A: COULD also be 2 or 3 in your system.
-
-
- /U:
-
- Each IDE controller can drive up to TWO drives. If the CD drive
- is jumpered as the Master then this is unit 0, /U:0 otherwise it
- is unit 1, /U:1
-
- /atapi or /ATAPI
-
- This informs the IBM1S506.ADD driver that this unit (/a: /u:) is an
- ATAPI (IDE attached) CDROM drive...
-
- Editing your config.sys...
-
- locate the BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD line
-
- If you have NO parameters on this line, then ADD the
- parms as defined above, /A:? and /U:?
-
- an example line with the CD as slave on controller 1
- BASEDEV=IBM1S506.add /A:0 /U:1 /ATAPI
-
- IF you ALREADY have parms, and have a /A:? parm already, make sure
- to add JUST the /U:? parm for that adapter.
-
- 5. IF you are using OS/2 2.11 or earlier, you will need to add the following
- config.sys statement. (If you have WARP, choosing 'NON listed IDE CDROM'
- will cause this line to be placed in config.sys automatically)
-
- BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT
-
- 6. Shut down and restart your system
-
-
- Installation if os/2 is NOT already installed on your fixed disk
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- 1. create the CD install disk 1 from the OS/2 CDROM
-
- 2. copy the files supplied here OVER the ones on disk 1.
-
- 3. If you have a NEC 260 IDE CDROM drive, edit the config.sys on disk 1
- and modify the BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD line as described above
- (adding the /A & /U parms)
-
- 3a. IF you are using OS/2 2.11 or earlier, add the following statement
- to config.sys and copy the associated file onto disk 1.
-
- BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT
-
- 4. Boot the installation disk and disk 1 and proceed thru
- installation phase 1.
-
- 4a. If you are using WARP, proceed to step 7.
-
- 5. Because the installation program uses copies of these files
- from a packed file on the installation diskettes, the
- UPDATED drivers you copied in step 2 are overlayed with
- the older ones on your hard disk. You MUST manually
- fix this.
-
- When you are asked to reboot to continue the installation,
- insert the installation disk and press Ctrl-Alt-Del, then through disk 1
- to the install panel. Press F3 to get to a command line. Go to the
- installation drive (wherever you installed OS/2). Copy the updated
- files (OS2CDROM.DMD, IBM1S506.ADD, and IBM1DECD.FLT from disk 1 to the
- proper location on the install partition)
-
- 6. type EXIT from the command line
-
- 7. remove the diskette from A: and reboot
-
- 8. Complete the rest of install
