- CDRom. If the tooltype "NOMEMTYPE" is set to "TRUE", then the
- text box "MEMTYPE" will be disabled.

- >MAIN GUI: (the wonderful gui "EasyACDDA") <
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- The main window (EasyACDDA) is organized in two parts:
- ________________
- Play a CD track:
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- · 1-40: these buttons allow to play each single track, you can play
- other tracks also if the previous track has not reached the
- end. So the previous track will be stopped and the new track
- will be played.
- · Vol.-|+: this slider allows to set the volume (0-100[%]). You have to
- set the volume before playing/saving any track.
- · Play: this button allows to play consecutively all tracks found on
- the CD.
- · Stop: this button affects the functions Play and Save stopping them.
- ________________
- Save a CD track:
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- · Track: this text box allows to enter your favorite track to save. The
- gadgets [-][+] allow to do this operation in the easier way.
- · Format: this cycle menu allows to select the file format. You are able
- to save a track as 8SVX, WAV, MAUD and AIFF.
- · Mode: this cycle menu allows to select some parameters. These are
- MUTE (no sound), MONO and 16BIT. When you save a track as WAV,
- MAUD or AIFF the only available parameter is MUTE in spite of
- the cycle menu is set to another parameter.
- · File: this text box allows to enter the path and file name for the
- track to save.
- ____________________________________________________________________________

- · Device: this text box allows to enter your CD device.
- · Unit: this text box allows to enter your CD unit.
- · MemType: this text box allows to enter the value for the memory type.
- You can enter "2" (Chip Mem), "512" (Zorro Mem) or other value
- if you are expert. If you don't want this feature then you
- have to set the tooltype "NOMEMTYPE" to "TRUE" so the text box
- "MEMTYPE" will appear disabled.
- · Use: this button allows to use temporarily your configuration.
- · Save: this button allows to save your configuration on harddisk.
- · HELP: this button allows to obtain some infos about the mechanism
- regarding this gui.
- ____________________________________________________________________________

- are "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" (default) and "f".
- · Test: this button allows to test the CDRom with one of the available
- parameters. If your CDRom works fine, you have found the right
- parameter so you have to modify the tooltype "PLAN" entering
- the right parameter.
- · Stop: this button allows to stop the test.
- · HELP: this button allows to obtain some infos about the mechanism

- ____________________________________________________________________________
- >TOOLTYPES: (allow to configure "EasyACDDA") <
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- · IMAGE: this tooltype allows to set your favorite background image. So
- you have to enter the path and file name.
- · PLAN: this tooltype allows to set your CDRom type with the following
- parameters:
- » "a" = some CDRoms "Sony" and compatible
- » "b" = some CDRoms "Toshiba" and compatible
- » "c" = some CDRoms "NEC" (old CDRoms)
- » "d" = some CDRoms "Grunding" and "Toshiba"
- » "e" = all CDRoms 100% Atapi
- » "f" = some CDRoms Pre-Atapi
- · VOL: this tooltype allows to set your default volume (default value
- 100[%]). So EasyACDDA will start with your value. The minimum
- value is "0" and the maximum is "100".
- · FORMAT: this tooltype allows to set your default file format for the
- output file. So EasyACDDA will start with your value. The only
- four values allowed are:
- » "0" = is for 8SVX
- » "1" = is for WAV
- » "2" = is for MAUD
- » "3" = is for AIFF
- · MODE: this tooltype allows to set your default mode. So EasyACDDA
- will start with your value. The values allowed are:
- » "0" = is for 16BIT
- » "1" = is for MONO
- » "2" = is for MUTE
- · FILE: this tooltype allows to set your default output file. You have
- to enter the path and file name.
- · DEVICE: allows to set your default CDRom device.
- · UNIT: allows to set your default CDRom unit.
- · MEMTYPE: allows to set your default memory type. There are some values
- allowed:
- » "2" = Chip Mem
- » "512" = Zorro Mem
- or other values if you are expert.
- · NOMEMTYPE: this tooltype allows to disable (or enable) the memory type.
- "NOMEMTYPE" has the maximum priority. The values allowed are:
- » "TRUE" = disable "MEMTYPE"
- » "FALSE" = enable "MEMTYPE"
- If this tooltype is set to "TRUE", EasyACDDA will try to work
- detecting which type of memory is available.
