The accompanying device driver is offerred as a test version only. Neither
Philips LMS nor IBM warrants any suitability of this software.
The accompanying device driver is for operating the single session CM205
on an OS/2 system, rev 2.1 or later. The single session CM205 has series
code A, B, C, or D. Some series E drives were also single session. The
series code is the first character of the serial number on the drive label
on the rear of the drive. Series F and later (and some series E) are
multisession drives. For those drives, use the multisession and 2x device
driver: lms206.add.
The following is an excerpt from the proposed installation instructions:
Installation if OS/2 2.1 is already installed on your fixed disk
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Run the Device Driver installation program
a. Open the OS/2 System folder on the desktop.
b. Open the System Setup folder.
c. Open Device Driver Install.
d. Insert the "Philips LMS CD-ROM Device Driver Diskette"
e. Select Install
f. Select the device driver to install from the list
g. Select OK.
(Note: You do not need to reboot OS/2 before starting step 2 below).
2. After the Device Driver Installation is complete, you must run
Selective Install to install the files for the OS/2 CD-ROM Device
Manager and OS/2 CD-ROM File System.
a. Open the OS/2 System folder on the desktop.
b. Open the System Setup folder.
c. Open Selective Install
d. Select the CD-ROM Device Support check box
e. Select OK
f. Scroll to the bottom of the CD-ROM device list table and
select the choice OTHER
g. Select OK
h. Select the OK push button to proceed from the System Configuration
screen to the OS/2 Setup and Installation window
i. Select Install
j. When prompted to do so, insert the numbered installation diskettes
or installation CD-ROM from the OS/2 2.1 product.
3. Shut down and restart your system
Installation from the CD-ROM version of OS/2 2.1
------------------------------------------------
1. Make a copy of the OS/2 2.1 diskette labeled "Diskette 1"
2. Copy the file LMS205.ADD from the "Philips LMS CD-ROM Device Driver
Diskette" to the root directory on the copy of the OS/2 2.1 Diskette 1.
(Note: If there is not enough room on the copy of OS/2 2.1
Diskette 1, then delete the file IBM2SCSI.ADD. If you delete
IBM2SCSI.ADD, you must also edit the CONFIG.SYS file and delete
the line BASEDEV=IBM2SCSI.ADD)
3. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file located on the copy of Diskette 1.
At the end of the file, add the following statement.
BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD
4. Begin the installation by inserting the Installation Diskette
into drive A and restarting the system. When prompted to insert
Diskette 1, insert the copy that you modifed.
5. When the System Configuration screen is displayed during installation,
the CD-ROM Device Support field will display "None". Do not modify
the choice and continue with the installation.
6. After installation is complete, and you have rebooted your system,
you will not be able to access your CD-ROM drive. This is due
to a defect in the OS/2 2.1 install program. To access your
CD-ROM drive, perform the following steps:
a. Copy the following files from the OS/2 2.1 Diskette 1
to the drive which OS/2 was installed.
(Note: the example assume C:, change if different)
COPY A:OS2CDROM.DMD C:\OS2
COPY A:CDFS.IFS C:\OS2
b. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on drive which OS/2 was installed
and add the following statements to the end of the file:
(Note: the example assume C:, change if different)
DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
c. Shut down and reboot the system
7. You will need to run Selective Install to copy over some remaining
system files.
a. Open the OS/2 System folder on the desktop.
b. Open the System Setup folder.
c. Open Selective Install
d. Select the CD-ROM Device Support check box
e. Select OK
f. Scroll to the bottom of the CD-ROM device list table and
select the choice OTHER
g. Select OK
h. Select the OK push button to proceed from the System Configuration
screen to the OS/2 Setup and Installation window
i. Select Install
j. When prompted to do so, insert the installation CD-ROM
from the OS/2 2.1 product.
Installation from the diskette version of OS/2 2.1
--------------------------------------------------
1. Install the OS/2 2.1 product from the diskettes
2. Go to the section above titled "Installation if OS/2 2.1 is already
installed on your fixed disk".
----------------------------------------
| Philips LMS Device Driver Parameters |
----------------------------------------
This section lists the parameters which are supported for the
Philips LMS CD-ROM device driver. The parameters can be changed
by modifying the BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD line in config.sys.
For the LMS205.ADD device driver, the syntax for the line in config.sys
is as follows:
BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD [/u:X] [/m:Y] [/V]
[/u:X]
Identifies a specific unit, X.
Valid values for X are 0, 1, 2, 3. The default is zero.
LMS205 locates all CM250 and CM260 host adapters and assigns unit
numbers based on the order in which each was found.
This parameter tells LMS205 which BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD line it is
currently processing.
[/m:Y]
Indicates the number of 2500 byte CD frame buffers that should
be allocated by the LMS205.ADD driver.
Valid values for Y are 8,..., 26. The default is 16. Any value below
the minimum (8) will be assigned the minimum (8).
[/V]
The device driver will display the device driver revision level
and CD-ROM product information at boot time.
For example,
IBM OS/2 LMS205.ADD 1.00 02-NOV-93
Philips LMS Unit 0: CM205 CDROM drive, FR4, CM260 HA Port: 0340 IRQ: 05
--------------------
| Trouble shooting |
--------------------
1. If you are not able to access the CD-ROM drive:
a. Add the /V parameter switch to the BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD statement
in your CONFIG.SYS file. For example:
BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD /V
After rebooting, the device driver will display the list of
drives it has identified. For example:
IBM OS/2 LMS205.ADD 1.00 02-NOV-93
Philips LMS Unit 0: CM205 CDROM drive, FR4, CM260 HA Port:0340 IRQ:05
If no units were detected, one of the following messages is displayed:
IBM OS/2 LMS205.ADD 1.00 02-NOV-93
Unit 0 not found. Unable to locate port.
IBM OS/2 LMS205.ADD 1.00 02-NOV-93
Unit 0 not found. Found port, unable to locate IRQ.
IBM OS/2 LMS205.ADD 1.00 02-NOV-93
Unit 0 not found. Found port and IRQ, drive not responding.
If no units were detected, see step 1b below.
If units were detected, see step 1c below.
b. Check that the adapter is properly installed.
Ensure that all cables are attached properly.
Ensure that the CD-ROM host adapter uses a unique
I/O port address and a unique IRQ channel number.
c. Make sure all the required files to operate the CD-ROM drive have
been installed. Your CONFIG.SYS file should have the following
statements:
DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS
BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD
If you do not have the OS2CDROM.DMD or CDFS.IFS statements in
your config.sys, you must use the OS/2 2.1 Selective Install
utility to install these files.
2. If the drive letter assigned to the CD-ROM drive under OS/2 is
different than the drive letter assigned under DOS.
The CD-ROM drive is assigned the next available drive
letter after drive letters have been assigned for the
floppy drives and fixed disk drives.
The drive letter is also assigned after any installable block
device drivers which are located in config.sys before the
DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD statement (i.e. DEVICE=C:\OS2\VDISK.SYS).
There is currently no mechanism in OS/2 for assigning a specific
drive letter for the CD-ROM drive. The drive letter assignment
under DOS can be controlled by using the /L switch on MSCDEX.EXE
command line.
