BUSCD.SYS - A NT-Driver for Mitsumi LU002/LU005 Note Note Note ============== I am not the manufacturer of your CD Drive - I am only a owner like you. Consequently I can not guarantee that this driver will function with every version of the Firmware inside the CD Drive. But I did my best to test the driver. This is ShareWare ================= You are welcome to test the driver for 30 days. After this time you must either stop using the driver or send the registration form with the money ($20 or DM 30 + shipping) to Bernd Edlinger Riesstrasse 67/VI 80997 Muenchen Germany This version of the driver has a built in time limit of 30 days. Registered users will receive an unlimited version. Installing the Driver ===================== 1. Copy these files to a Diskette. 2. Run Setup from the Administrator-Account. 3. Install a new SCSI-Driver (Select OTHER) 4. If the IO-Address of the bus adapter is 0x300 You can reboot the machine now. 5. Otherwise start REGEDT32.EXE 6. Setup should have created the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BusCd The following entries must be created (others may exist too): ErrorControl:REG_DWORD:0x1 Group:REG_SZ:SCSI CDROM Class Start:REG_DWORD:0x1 Type:REG_DWORD:0x1 7. If your bus adapter has an address other than 0x300 create a new key "Parameters" under the "BusCd" key and add a new value "BaseAddress" of type REG_DWORD and the base address as it is jumpered on the adapter. Example: ...\BusCd\Parameters: BaseAddress:REG_DWORD:0x310 8. Restart your machine. 9. If something unpleasant happens during the system boot the Last Known Good Configuration can be selected by pressing the space bar after the "Ntdetect checking hardware..." message. Incompatibilities ================= This driver is not suitable for system-boot. There is still no other way than to use winnt. This is because this driver is (in its current version) no scsi-miniport. There may exist problems if this driver is used on systems with a second SCSI-II CD-Drive. I have not tested this! The cdaudio filter-driver produces some error-logs when it tries to send INTERNAL_DEVICE_CONTROLs to the buscd.sys. This is harmless, but you can disable the cdaudio device by klicking on the control panel icon "Devices" (not Drivers!) and changing the startup of cdaudio to disabled. This has nothing to do with the MCI CD Audio driver in the drivers section - do not deinstall this one. The cdaudio is only useful when a NEC, PIONEER DRM6XX, DENON DRD 25X or HITACHI 1750S/1650S/3650 is installed in the system.
