OSDICDRM - CD-ROM DRIVES COMPATIBLE WITH OS/2 2.1
01/10/96
=======================================================================
CD-ROM Drives Compatible with OS/2 2.1
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
This document provides information about CD-ROM drives that are
compatible with OS/2 2.1, and includes a list of the drives.
RESOLUTION
When installation of OS/2 is from CD-ROM, 6 MB of RAM are recommended.
If you are installing multimedia, you will need 5 MB of hard disk space.
For Non-IBM Systems:
--------------------
It is suggested that you disable turbo, cache, and shadow RAM. (Packard
Bell users need not disable the above features.)
For All Systems:
----------------
Set video to VGA mode, 640x80, 8-bit slot or mode if possible, and
disable autosensing if you have the capability. Disconnect the modem,
tape backups, network card, scanners, and other devices, for the
installation. After installation, enable and connect all features and
devices.
The CONFIG.SYS file must have the following statements for CD-ROM
drives:
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 installed.
/Q is quiet mode; no error messages will appear. If you want error
messages to appear, use /V instead.
xxx are CD-ROM parameters.
A BASEDEV statement is required for the CD-ROM drive and the sound card.
Note: Both OS2CDROM.DMD and CDFS.IFS must be present in the CONFIG.SYS
file and the files must be in the OS2 subdirectory. If they are
missing, add the statements to the CONFIG.SYS file and copy the
files to the OS2 subdirectory. The files are in the bundled
file, CDROMREQ, which can be found as follows:
* Blue labels for OS/2: Diskette 10
* Salmon labels for OS/2: Diskette 12
* Green labels for OS/2 for Windows: Diskette 5
If the device driver is not listed, or if you need assistance, contact
the vendor for an OS/2 driver.
Note: If you're adding a device driver to Diskette 1 and the diskette
does not have enough space, do a DISKCOPY of Diskette 1. On the
COPY of Diskette 1, you then can delete the following files:
* For a non-Micro-Channel system, delete IBM2.* files.
* For a Micro-Channel system, delete IBM1.* files.
There now should be room for the device drivers.

Parameter Definitions
/P:nnn Specifies base I/O port address of the interface card.
This must be same number as specified on interface card.
/I:nn Specifies the interrupt request (IRQ) channel number.
This must match the IRQ value selected on the host
interface card. If this parameter is not specified,
the device driver will use software polling transfer.
/V Verbose. The device driver will display the device driver
revision level and CD-ROM product identification
information when you start the system.
Parameter Examples
1. Mitsumi CD-ROM drive attached to Mitsumi host adapter:
If the Mitsumi host adapter is set to a base I/O port address of
320, the line in CONFIG.SYS should be:
BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD /P:320
2. Mitsumi CD-ROM drive attached to Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16
MultiCD.
For example, if the Mitsumi CD-ROM port on the Sound Blaster 16
MultiCD is set to I/O port address of 320, the line in CONFIG.SYS
should be:
BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD /P:320
3. To enable interrupt transfer mode, which improves performance, the
/I parameter must be specified. For example, to enable interrupt
transfer mode for IRQ channel 10 at I/O port address of 320h, the
line in CONFIG.SYS should appear as follows:
BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD /P:320 /I:10
Sony CD-ROM Device Driver Parameters
------------------------------------
The parameters for the following CD-ROM adapter device drivers are
described in SONY31A.ADD
This device driver supports the following CD-ROM drives:
Sony CDU-31A

Parameter Definitions
/A:n Identifies a specific adapter, n. Adapter is specified as a
single digit value which is zero based (i.e.; the first adapter
is specified as /A:0).
/AT:dd Sets the adapter type connected to the CD-ROM drive.
Supported values are:
00 = Sony CDB-334 (default)
08 = Media Vision Pro AudioSpectrum 16
/P:nnnn Specifies base I/O port address of interface card. This must
be the same number as specified on the interface
If this parameter is not specified, the default port address
for the host adapter is used. For the Sony CDB-334 host
adapter, the default is 0340. For the Media Vision Pro
AudioSpectrum 16 card the default is 1F88.
/I:nn Specifies the interrupt request (IRQ) channel number. This
must match the IRQ value selected on the host interface card.
If this parameter is not specified, the device driver will use
software polling transfer.
Note: Some Sony host adapter cards did not ship with the
plastic jumper switch to select IRQ channel on IRQ
jumper block. You must obtain and install plastic
jumper switch to enable the IRQ channel.
/V Verbose. Device driver will display the device driver revision
level and CD-ROM product identification information when you
start the system.

should be 10h above base I/O port address specified on the adapter
card. For example, if the Sound Blaster card is set for a base I/O
port address of 220h, the line in CONFIG.SYS should be:
BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /P:0230
4. To enable interrupt transfer mode, which improves performance, the
/I parameter must be specified. For example to enable interrupt
transfer mode for IRQ channel 5 at I/O port address of 360h, the
line in CONFIG.SYS should appear as follows:
BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /P:0360 /I:5
