INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR CM207 CD-ROM DEVICE DRIVER: DDATAPI.SYS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Put the installation diskette into a diskette drive (A or B). Type A: and hit RETURN or Type B: and hit RETURN Type SETUP and hit RETURN. The SETUP function will occur automatically. Drives will be located, files will be copied, AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS will be updated after back-ups are created. CONFIG.SYS LINE SYNTAX ---------------------------------------------------------------------- device=c:\cdrom\ddatapi.sys or devicehigh=c:\cdrom\ddatapi.sys This is minimum. You may attach switch parameters: /d:device-driver-name where device-driver-name is 8 characters or less. The default is MSCD001. /p:xy where x identifies the ATA (IDE) port in the PC and y identifies the drive. x may be p, primary port (task file at 1f0, IRQ 14), s, secondary port (task file at 170, IRQ 15), t, tertiary port (task file at 1e8, IRQ 11), or q, quaternary port (task file at 168, IRQ 10). y may be m, master drive (aka drive 0), or s, slave drive (aka drive 1). If used, a /p switch must be used for each CM207 drive connected. If not used, a scan for all possible ports and drives will be done to establish their presence in the system. /v may be attached at the end of the config.sys line to provide a "verbose" display as the device driver is initializing all CM207 CD-ROM drives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MICROSOFT CD-ROM EXTENSIONS: MSCDEX.EXE ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DDATAPI.SYS only provides the low level interface to the drive. The file MSCDEX.EXE, included in MS-DOS at rev 6.0 and higher, provides the file system service which allows the CD-ROM to appear as a normal disk drive in your MS-DOS based system. MSCDEX.SYS is included on this diskette in the event that it is not present in your system. Add the following line to autoexec.bat: MSCDEX /d:device-driver-name /m:CC /l:# or lh MSCDEX /d:device-driver-name /m:CC /l:# where device-driver-name is identical to the name given to the DDATAPI.SYS driver (NOTE: this must be MSCD001 if none was specified in config.sys). CC is the number of 2048 byte blocks to reserve for cacheing CD-ROM directories. If the /m switch is absent, the default value of 10 will be used. # is the first drive letter to use for the CD-ROM drives controlled by DDATAPI.SYS. If there are 3 drives and # is made to be E, then the drives will be labelled E, F, and G. (In the event that you have a network, the drive letters may not run sequentially.)
