- LMS205.DDP - Philips LMS device driver installation profile
- README.205 - This README file.
-
-
-
- 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

- 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. If you wish to change CONFIG.SYS parameters, refer to
- the "Philips LMS Device Driver Parameters" section below.
-
-
- 4. 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. Although the LMS205.ADD device driver auto-scans port addresses, some
- network cards have caused difficulty with this scan. If this problem
- has been seen or is likely, 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 /P:nnn
-
- where "/P:nnn" is the base I/O port address selected on the
- CD-ROM host interface card. The default base I/O port address
- for the Philips LMS interface card is 340, so the statement would
- appear as follows if the card is set to address 340:
-
-
- BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD /P:340
-
- 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 [/P:nnn] [M:nn] [/V]
-
-
- [/P:nnn]
-
- Specifies the base I/O port address of the interface card.
- This must be the same number as specified by the DIP switch
- on the interface card.
-
-
- [/M:nn]
-
- Specifies the number of CDROM frame buffers allocated. The maximum
- value is 26. The default is 16. If performance problems are seen,
- use the maximum value.
-
-
- [/V]
-
- The device driver will display the device driver revision level
- and CD-ROM product information at boot time.
-
-
-
- Philips LMS CD-ROM Device Driver Parameter Examples
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Philips LMS CD-ROM drive attached to Philips LMS host adapter:
-
- If the Philips LMS host adapter is set to a base I/O port address
- of 310, the line in config.sys should be:
-
- BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD /P:310
-
-
- 2. Philips LMS CD-ROM drive attached to Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 MultiCD
-
- If the Philips LMS CD-ROM port on the Sound Blaster 16 MultiCD is set
- to I/O port address of 340, the line in config.sys should be:
-
-
- BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD /P:340
-
-
- 3. To enhance performance, the /M parameter must be specified. For example
- to allocate the maximum number of buffers (26) with a host adapter at
- I/O port address 310h, the line in config.sys should appear as follows:
-
-
- BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD /P:310 /M:26
-
-
-
- --------------------
- | 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 /P:340 /V
-
-
- After rebooting, the device driver will display the list of
- drives it has identified. For example:
-
- IBM OS/2 LMS205.ADD 1.10
- Philips LMS CM205 CDROM DRIVE PORT:0340 IRQ:11
-
-
- If no units were detected, the following message is displayed:
-
- IBM OS/2 LMS205.ADD
- No units detected.
-
-
- If no units were detected, see step 1b below.
- If units were detected, see step 1c below.
-
-
-
- b. Make sure the Base I/O Port Address specified by the /P parameter
- in the config.sys file matches the Base Port Address selected
- with the DIP switch on the interface card.
-
- The default Base I/O Port Address for the Philips LMS interface card is
- address 0x0340. If you have changed the Base I/O Port Address on
- the card, you must change the /P parameter on the BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD
- statement in config.sys.
-
- For example, if you changed the Base I/O Port Address to 0x0310, the
- statement in config.sys should be as follows:
-
- BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD /P:310
-
-
- c. Make sure all the required files to operate the CD-ROM drive have
- been installed. You should have the appropriate BASEDEV=
- statement in CONFIG.SYS for your CD-ROM device driver. You
- should also have the following statements for the CD-ROM system
- files in your config.sys:
-
-
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
- IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS
- BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD /P:340
-
-
- If you do not have the above statements in your config.sys, you
- must use the OS/2 2.1 Selective Install to install the CD-ROM
- support files.
-
-
-
- 2. If the performance of background OS/2 tasks seems slow when the CD-ROM
- drive is accessed. Or, if the performance of the MMPM/2 Software Motion
- Video clips seems slow or jerky.
-
- a. The LMS205.ADD device driver should be run using maximum buffer
- allocation by using the /M parameter. Use /M:26. The statement
- in config.sys should be as follows:
-
- BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD /P:340 /M:26
-
-
- 3. 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.
-
-
- ----------------------
