Installation Procedure for OS/2 CD-ROM Device Driver SBCD2.ADD can be used in OS/2 system which supports layered CD-ROM device management structure. Supported by OS/2 2.1, existing OS/2 2.0 users can also access the structure by using OS2CDROM.DMD in the OS2CDR package for OS/2 2.0. To get the package, type GO IBMOS2 in Compuserve network. SBCD2.ADD works with the double speed (300 KB/sec) Panasonic CR-563 CD ROM drive or the single speed (150KB/sec) Panasonic CR-521, CR-523, CR-531 CD ROM drives. It does not work with any other CD-ROM drives. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE IF YOU HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED OS/2 2.1 ------------------------------------------------------------- 1) If the following line is in your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file, delete it or "REM" it out. DEVICE=C:\OS2\CDROM.SYS ... (where "..." are parameters) 2) If the OS2CDROM.DMD file is not already in the C:\OS2 directory, copy that file from disk 1 of your OS/2 Ver. 2.1 installation diskette to the C:\OS2 directory. 3) Copy the SBCD2.ADD file to C:\OS2 4) Put the following lines in your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file in the given order near the bottom of the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file. (Putting these lines near the top could cause problems.) Make sure that none of these lines are already in your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file. If they are, delete them and put them with the lines shown below. BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220 DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CRDOM.DMD IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS LASTDRIVE=H NOTE: A) The last line (LASTDRVIE=H) will problably be different for your system. For example, if the current last drive of your system is "D: ", your CD-Rom drive will be "E:" and the last line should read: LASTDRIVE=E This line may be optional. If you have problems, try eliminating this line and see what happens. B) The first line contains the I/O address of the Sound Blaster card as a parameter (/P:220). If your I/O address is different (not 220), change the number on the first line to reflect your setting. Check "DESCRIPTION OF SBCD2.ADD SWITCHES" at the end of this document for info. on how to set other switches. 5) Reboot your system. The SBCD2.ADD driver should now work. DRIVER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE IF YOU HAVE NOT INSTALLED OS/2 2.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Copy the SBCD2.ADD CD-ROM driver to the OS/2 2.1 installation disk 1. 2) Add the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file contained on the OS/2 installation disk 1. (Put it on the last line of the CONFIG.SYS file.) BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220 3) Install OS/2 2.1 on your system. When selecting installation options, do NOT install the CD ROM option! (OS/2 2.1 does not include the SBCD2.ADD driver.) 4) Copy the SBCD2.ADD file to the C:\OS2 directory. 5) If the OS2CDROM.DMD file is not already in the C:\OS2 directory, copy that file from disk 1 of your OS/2 Ver. 2.1 installation diskette to the C:\OS2 directory. 6) If the CDFS.IFS file is not already in the C:\OS2 directory, copy that file from disk 1 of your OS/2 Ver. 2.1 installation diskette to the C:\OS2 directory. 7) Make certain the following lines are in the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file on your hard disk in the given order. BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220 DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD IFS=C:\CDFS.IFS /Q DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS LASTDRIVE=H NOTE: A) The last line (LASTDRIVE=H) will probably be different for your system. For example, if the current last drive of your system is "D:", your CD-ROM drive will be "E:" and the last line should read: LASTDRIVE=E This line may be optional. If you have problems, try eliminating this line and see what happens. B) The first line contains the I/O address of the Sound Blaster card as a parameter (/P:220). If your I/O address is different (not 220), change the number on the first line to reflect your setting. Check "DESCRIPTION OF SBCD2.ADD SWITCHES" at the end of this document for info. on how to set other switches. 8) Reboot your system. The SBCD2.ADD driver should now work. DESCRIPTION OF SBCD2.ADD SWITCHES --------------------------------- /P:xxx ------ This switch specifies the port address(in hex) of Sound Blaster card used. Options for xxx are 220, 240, 260, and 280. Default setting for xxx is 220. Example: BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220 /M:xxx ------ This switch specifies the port address(in hex) of MKE CD-ROM interface card used. Options for xxx are 300, 310, 320 and 330. Default setting for xxx is 300. Example: BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /M:300 NOTE : /P and /M are mutually exclusive. If both are specified, the latter one will be effective. If none is specified, default is Sound Blaster. /D:xxx ------ This switch specifies the drives to be run at double transfer speed (300KB/s). The option /D:xxx specifies all daisy chained drives to run at double speed. You can specify individual drive using /D:0, /D:1, /D:2, or /D:3 where 0, 1, 2, and 3 are the ID numbers of drives you want to run at double speed. If you have only one drive, use the following format: BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /D:1 (1 is the jumper setting on the drive) If you have 2 or more drives, use this format: BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /D:1,3 (1 and 3 are jumper settings on the drives) /N:xxx This switch specifies the drives to be run at normal transfer speed (150KB/s). The option /N:xxx specifies all daisy chained drives to run at normal speed. You can specify individual drive using /N:0, /N:1, /N:2, or /N:3 where 0, 1, 2, and 3 are the ID numbers of drives that you want to run at normal speed. If you have only one drive, use the following format: BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /N:1 (1 is the jumper setting on the drive) If you have 2 or more drives, use this format: BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /N:0,2 (0 and 2 are jumper settings on the drives) NOTE : The default is double transfer speed wherever it is possible. If the same drive has been set more than once, the latest setting will take effect. IMPORTANT: --------- This driver is provided "AS IS".
