********************************************************************
OS/2 2.1 CD-ROM DRIVE COMPATIBILITY LIST
----------------------------------------
6 MGS RAM is recommended when installing OS/2 from CD-ROM.
5 MGS of HD space is required when installing Multi-Media
Statements in the CONFIG.SYS for CD-ROM's are as follows:
DEVICE=X:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
IFS=X:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
BASEDEV=<device_driver_name> /P:XXX
where X: (is the drive where OS/2 resides)
where XXX: (is CD-ROM parameters)
You need a BASEDEV for the CDROM and the ADAPTER/SOUND CARD
/Q is quiet mode and NO error messages will display
/V is view mode and error messages will be displayed
NOTE: The statements OS2CDROM.DMD and CDFS.IFS both need to
be present in CONFIG.SYS and in the OS/2 subdirectory.
IF they are NOT, ADD the statements to the CONFIG.SYS
and copy the files to OS/2 subdirectory. Files are
located in a bundled file called CDROMREQ and are found:
BLUE colored labels for OS/2 Diskette #10
SALMON colored labels for OS/2 Diskette #12
GREEN colored labels for Windows OS/2 Diskette # 5
If the device driver is not listed or you need assistance,
contact the VENDOR for an OS/2 driver:
Creative Labs 405-742-6660
Media Vision 800-638-2807
CD Technology 408-432-8698
Chinon 800-441-0222
Hitachi 224-785-9770
Mitsumi 408-970-9699
NEC 508-264-4300
Panasonic 800-222-0584
Philips LMS 800-777-5674

Tandy 817-878-6875
Texel 408-980-1838
Toshiba 800-999-4273
Note: If you're adding a device driver to Diskette #1 and you
do NOT have enough space on diskette, you will need to
make a DISKCOPY of Diskette #1. On the COPY of Diskette
#1 you can delete the following files:
FOR NON-MICRO CHANNEL SYSTEM delete files IBM2.*
FOR MICRO CHANNEL SYSTEM delete files IBM1.*
You will now have room to add device drivers to Diskette #1.

3. Non Supported CDROM Information
==============================================================================
When installing OS/2 2.1 from a nonsupported CDROM, following procedure
might work, but cannot be supported by the Support Center.
If you have a nonsupported CDROM, the following instructions may
allow CDROM to operate under OS/2. If unsuccessful please contact
manufacturer or supplier of the CDROM.
1. Make the diskettes images from the CD ROM(DOS must be present)
Go to images subdirectory when booted in real DOS and use
LOADDSKF to make the diskette images (LOADDSKF filename A:)
2. Disconnect the CD ROM
3. Install OS/2 2.1 from diskette.
4. Copy devices drivers(ext. .ADD)to the \OS2 directory
(CD ROM/Sound card).
5. Copy the device drivers for the Controller/Adapter.
6. Connect the CD ROM and plug in Sound Card and
Controller/Adapter.
7. Do a Selective install of for CDROM (modifies the
CONFIG.SYS)
Statements in CONFIG.SYS that should appear:
EX: DEVICE=x:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
IFS=x:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
BASEDEV=<device_driver_name>
Where x: is the drive where OS/2 resides
** All device drivers MUST be compatible with OS/2 **
Vendors will provide the driver, technical support, and literature to
install OS/2 if it is not in the supported list of CD-ROM's.
IBM will NOT supply other vendors device drivers. To ensure that
latest updated drivers are received directly contact the source.
Please do not request non-IBM drivers from the IBM Support Centers.
If you are unsuccessful installing OS/2 2.1 from CDROM on a non-supported
CDROM please contact your manufacturer or make diskettes from images
on another PC or exchange your CDROM package for the diskette package.
