- BUSCD.SYS - A NT-Driver for Mitsumi LU002/LU005
- MINICD.SYS - This Version can be executed by NT Setup
-
-
-
- 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
-
- 80993 Muenchen
- Germany
-
-
- This version of the driver has a built in time limit of 30 days.
- Registered users will receive an unlimited version.
-
-
-
- How to pay
- ==========
-
- Europe+UK: Euro-Cheque payable in DM preferred
- USA+Canada: Please send Bank Notes
- *or* a Bank Cheque with an extra $5

- Installing the BusCd Driver
- ===========================
-
- If you want to boot Windows NT from your CD-ROM please read
- the Section "Using the MiniCD Driver" first.
- Otherwise follow these instructions.
-
- 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.
-
-

-
- Using the MiniCD Driver
- =======================
-
- Since NT Setup will only load SCSI-MiniPort Drivers I recompiled
- buscd.sys as a MiniPort to be able to install Windows NT from the
- CD-ROM. If you have NT already installed by WINNT you can skip this.
-
- If your CD has a base address other than 0x300 you must first patch
- the base address that is compiled into the MiniCD Driver. This should
- only be done using the program patch.exe as the following example
- demonstrates:
-
- C:\>a:
- A:\>patch 310
- PATCH DONE!
- A:\>
-
- The patch will only work if minicd.sys is in the current directory!
-
- After the base address is corrected, the NT Setup can be started.
- You must use the Custom Setup (press "C"). Then you must install a
- Custom-SCSI Adapter (press "S"). Insert now the Disk with the (patched)
- minicd.sys (and at least the file txtsetup.oem).
-
-
-
- After an hour or so, Windows NT will finally come up...
-
-
-
- One of the first things you should do is replace minicd.sys by buscd.sys.
- The reasons are:
-
- - minicd.sys runs under NT too, but not very efficiently (the mouse will
- move erratic for example when the CD is in use).
-
- - minicd.sys does not contain Audio CD code. It has just what is required
- to allow NT Setup to run.
-
- - buscd.sys improves performance by using NT Executive Services which
- are not available to MiniPorts.
-
- To deinstall the MiniCD Driver simply open the Devices Icon of the
- Control Panel when logged in as Administrator and set "minicd" to
- disabled. After the next reboot you can delete minicd.sys from the
- directory %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers. You can also delete the
- entire Registry Key
-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\minicd
-
- if you want.
-
-
- Then, to install BusCd continue at the previous Section.
-
-
-
- Incompatibilities
- =================
-
- The BusCd driver is not suitable for system-boot.
- Please use MiniCD instead!
-
-
- 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.
