- AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION
-
- Copy all the above files to a floppy. This floppy is now a device
- support diskette. Insert it in A: and run DDINSTAL from the OS/2
- prompt. The Device Driver Install icon can be found by selecting the
- OS/2 System icon on the desktop, then the System Setup icon in that
- window. Insert your floppy in a disk drive and double click on the
- Device Driver Install icon.
-
-
- MANUAL INSTALLATION
-
- The desired driver must be copied to the OS/2 2.0 directory:
-
- COPY A:*.* C:\OS2
-
- This driver should be installed in the config.sys file as follows:
-
- ....
- BASEDEV=T338SCSI.ADD
- BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD
- IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
- BASEDEV=OS2SCSI.DMD
- ....
-
- All of the above drivers are necessary for CD and HD support. They
- should be inserted in your CONFIG.SYS. Some of these drivers
- might already be in your CONFIG.SYS file. All drivers except for
- TxxxSCSI.ADD are placed in the OS2 directory during the initial OS2
- installation.
-
- OS2DASD.DMD is already in the CONFIG.SYS, but the other drivers may not
- be there. Be sure you add them either manually or with the OS/2
- Installer.
-
- The OS/2 .ADD driver we supply is fully compatible with any driver that
- interfaces with the .ADD specification for OS/2 2.0. It will work
- transparently with any hard disk supported by OS/2.
-
-
- OPTICAL DRIVES:
- IBM supplies a driver called OPTICAL.SYS for use with their 3.5"
- Magneto-Optical drive and other Magneto-Optical drives. We have
- confirmed that it works correctly with this .ADD release.
-
- In addition, we have implemented an optional command line switch that
- will enable some Magneto-Optical drives to be treated like a hard drive
- when OPTICAL.SYS is not available. Adding the command line parameter of
- /o to the .ADD driver forces the operating system to treat an MO drive
- as a standard hard drive.
-
-
- CD-ROM DRIVES:
- IBM recommends using CDROM.SYS (which is supplied with OS/2 2.0) with
- the /i option for non-IBM CD-ROM drives. This driver may not support
- audio commands on all CD-ROM drives. IBM is planning to release an
- updated driver that supports audio commands for most CD-ROM drives.
- Please contact IBM for more information on their CD-ROM support and
- future drivers.
-
- To support CD-ROM drives that are not supported with the /i option of
- CDROM.SYS, we have implemented a command line switch of /t in our .ADD
- that emulates the IBM (Toshiba) CD-ROM drive and allows standard data
- read commands to work with most SCSI CD-ROM drives. NOTE: Audio
- commands are not supported and may cause unpredictable results with some
- CD-ROM drives.
- Add the command line parameter in the following manner:
- BASEDEV=T338SCSI.ADD /t
-
- In order to have a CD-ROM drive show on your desktop with a CD-ROM icon,
- you must have a CD-ROM disc in your drive when the system is booted. If
- you boot with an empty CD-ROM drive, the drive icon will appear as a
- floppy disk instead of a CD-ROM disc. This will not affect the
- operation of the CD-ROM drive itself.
-
-
- NOTES:
- - Removable media is supported. It was tested with a SyQuest drive.
- - OPTICAL.SYS provided by IBM will support MO drives.
- - option /o supports MO drives by treating them like HD's.
- - option /t supports non-IBM CD-ROM drives for data only by
- emulating the IBM CD-ROM drive.
