- The SUPER CD-ROM Extensions consist these two (2) files;
- SuperCDX.exe version 2.13 and SuperCDX.doc (this document) .
-
- SUPERCDX.EXE ; the SUPER CD-ROM Extensions is a functional equivalent to and
- replaces MSCDEX.EXE, the Microsoft Multi-Media extensions. ( MUZZ-E-DEX )
-
- SUPERCDX will report itself to DOS as Apps as MSCDEX version 2.21,
- although it can replace all versions of MSCDEX 2.1 through 2.23
- It will work with DOS versions 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 5.0, 6.0 & 6.2 , all
- without SETVER required.
-
- Features Include:
-
- 1. SuperCDX will allow the user to access a multi-session and multi-volume
- CD-ROM, by assigning different volumes and sessions to individual letters.
- 2. SuperCDX can be installed more than once for different drivers and drives.
- 3. SuperCDX can assign the CD-ROM in place of any existing drive letter; ABC.
- 4. SuperCDX will de-scramble a secure CD-ROM made with CD-PRODUCER formatter.
-
- :Sample CONFIG.SYS file;
- Device=c:\cdpro\aspi4dos.sys /D
- Device=c:\cdpro\aspicd.sys /D:ASPICD0 /n:2
-
- : or with a second CD-ROM device driver as thus:
- device=c:\mitsumi\mtmscd.sys /d:mscd001 /P:340
- Lastdrive = Z:
-
- :Sample AUTOEXEC.BAT file;
- rem " You don't need MSCDEX anymore !"
- rem MSCDEX /D:ASPICD0 /L:R /M:10 /V /E
-
- SUPERCDX /d:mscd001 /L:R /M:10 /V /E /N:9
-
- : or if you have two separate driver names then two can be named as thus:
-
- SUPERCDX /d:mscd001 /D:ASPICD0 /L:R /M:10 /V /E /N:9
-
- This will install the recorder as 9 drives beginning with R:
-
- The syntax is as follows,
- where /D:driver = name of driver in config.sys (default= mscd001)
- /L:logical = drive letter assignment other than next available letter
- /N:n = n is from 2 to 9 for the total number of logical drives
-
- Also accepted for MSCDEX conformance but ignored are;
- /M:n is ignored as the SuperCDX buffer is fixed at 16K
- /K /V /E are all ignored ( kanji directory pending )
- (no verbose and no ems switch are needed)
-
- LH SuperCDX /d:ASPICD0 could load the re-director in high memory.
-
- Verbose comes along with naming any device driver name as /d:name .
- Using /d:name will echo back the number of physical drives installed,
- where as ommitting this parameter for the default of /d:mscd001 also ommits
- the message of how many physical drives are installed, one or two.
- Verbose gives the driver name and how many physical drives installed.
-
- This is version 2.13 of SuperCDX.

- SUPERCDX.EXE is our superior
- Multi-Session Redirector that replaces MSCDEX.EXE,
- the Microsoft multi-media cd extensions, version 2.21 as with DOS 5,
- and gives multi-session readability of Multi-Session
- CD-ROMs Automatically in most CD Players and CD-Recorders!
- It does not care about what DOS version you have and works with all
- DOS's 3.0 - 3.3 and DOS 5, 6.0 and 6.2. Incorrect Dos Version is gone and
- SetVER is never needed again! SuperCDX tells the OS that it is MSCDEX 2.21.
-
- What it does is assign logical drive letters ( up to nine) to each of the
- sessions on your multi-session disc. It like having 9 CDROMs at once in one.
-
- SUPERCDX works with CD-ROM Recorders & Players, and gives
- multiple sessions automatically assigned to multiple drive letters.
-
- The /N:n parameter is the number the number of total drives, both physical
- and additional logical sessions or tracks (volumes) within sessions.
- (up to nine) N can be omitted and defaults to one and thus installs one drive!
-
- :examples
-
- SuperCDX /L:J would assign the CDROM to just one Drive letter J:
- from a device with driver name MSCD001 .
-
- SuperCDX /L:x /d:aspicd0 /n:3
- this assigns only three drive letters X:Y:Z: and 3 sessions,
- from a device with driver name ASPICD0 .
-
- SUPERCDX /n:9 (with one hard drive partition at "C:")
-
- This will assign nine sessions or tracks to nine drive letters,
- starting with D: thus > D E F G H I J K L
-
- Also, Lastdrive=Z: must be in your config.sys file to allow all these drives!
- Without Lastdrive set higher, then LastDrive is defaulted to only G: without
- setting it higher, so with the number of drives set to nine, don't start the drive letter to high.:
- thus R: would be the highest Starting drive with nine total drives R: to Z: !
- If you try to create drives letters above the lastDrive = Z: .
-
- File manager for Windows will show only the first two drive of the last
- instance of SUPERCDX a CD-ROM drives, the remainder of the drives will
- show as remote network drives. This is proper. You can see all sessions at
- once under file manager with different tree and directories in each one.
- WOW - small miracle...
-
- SUPERCDX has the driver named fixed as MSCD001, and does not require the
- /d:driver_name if the driver is named /d:MSCD001 in the config.sys file.
-
- So SuperCDX can be entered alone and a CD-ROM installed with no syntax at all:
-
- SUPERCDX
- would install one (or two if present) CD-ROM drive letters beginning at the
- first available drive letter.
-
- SuperCDX by itself with no other syntax,
- will work only if the driver named in the config.sys file is mscd001.
- Any other driver name must be entered on the SuperCDX command line.
-
- When disc with less sessions than the number of drives installed
- will go back to the beginning and show the first session at those
- higher drive letters assigned above the last real session.
-
- SUPERCDX can be installed even as a SUBSTITUTE a CDROM in place of an
- existing hard drive's assigned letter:
-
- SUPERCDX /L:C would substitute the CDROM for your boot drive,.. WOW - WOW
- this can be reversed only by re-booting.
-
- SuperCDX /l:D /n:2 would substitute the first two sessions of a CD-ROM for your
- D: and E: drives. This TSR can only be released by rebooting.
-
- SuperCDX /L:X /N:3 would install three drives, X , Y , & Z any of which could
- contain an encrypted or scrambled SECURE -CD session or track on any track.
-
- Unlike MSCDEX, SuperCDX can be run twice naming a different driver name
- each time. This could be used to attach only certain CD-ROM drives of many.
-
- SuperCDX /d:firstCD /l:g
- SUPERCDX /d:secondCD /l:H
-
- You can even install SUPERCDX or in place of a floppy drive A: or B: !
- SUPERCDX /d:mscd001 /L:A /n:2
-
- All of these devices, including MSCDEX are called redirectors.
- MSCDEX and SUPERCDX redirect a block device like a CD-DRIVE
- into a logical device with a drive letter(s).
-
- SUPERCDX will play back video from a CD-ROM better than MSCDEX.
- MPEG, AVI and MOV all playback noticeably smoother with SuperCDX over MSCDEX.
- This is because of reducer cache write through times with SuperCDX.
-
- In conclusion, SUPERCDX can create new drive letters above your last installed logical hard drive. Or they can be
- installed in place of an existing hard drive logical drive letter.
-
- At this time there is audio support for only one physical drive,
- The first drive of two works fine for audio.
