- 1. Make a copy of the OS/2 2.1 diskette labeled "Diskette 1"
-
- 2. Copy the file GSCDROM.ADD from the "GoldStar 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. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file located on the copy of Diskette 1.
- At the end of the file, add the following statement.
-
- BASEDEV=GSCDROM.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 GoldStar GCD-R420 interface card is 340h, so the statement
- would appear as follows if the card is set to address 340h:

- | GoldStar Device Driver Parameters |
- +-----------------------------------+
-
- This section lists the parameters which are supported for the
- GoldStar CD-ROM device driver. The parameters can be changed by modifying
- the BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD line in config.sys.
-
- For the GSCDROM.ADD device driver, the syntax for the line in config.sys
- is as follows:
-
- BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD [/P:nnn]
-
- [/P:nnn]
-
- Specifies the base I/O port address of the interface card. The
- port address is specified as a three digit hex value. Leading
- zeros should be NOT specified. The value must be the same number as
- the port address selected by the jumper on the host interface card.
-
- If this parameter is not specified, the default port address for the
- host adapter is used. For the GoldStar GCD-R420 host interface card,
- the default is 340.
-
- See the section below titled "GoldStar GCD-R420 Host Adapter
- Jumper Settings".
-
-
- GoldStar GCD-R420 Device Driver Parameter Examples
- ---------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. GoldStar GCD-R420 CD-ROM drive attached to GoldStar GCD-R420 host adapter:
-
- The GoldStar GCD-R420 host adapter supports base I/O port addresses of
- 320h, 330h, 340h or 360h. If the GCD-R420 host adapter is set to any
- port address other than the default of 340h, the config.sys statement
- needs to be modified. For example, if the GoldStar GCD-R420 host adapter is
- set to a base I/O port address of 360, the line in config.sys should be:
-
- BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD /P:360
-

- | Trouble shooting |
- +------------------+
-
- 1. If you are not able to access the CD-ROM drive:
-
-
- a. Add the /V parameter switch to the BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD statement
- in your CONFIG.SYS file. For example:
-
- BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD /P:340 /V
-
-
- After rebooting, the device driver will display the list of
- drives it has identified. For example:
-
- IBM OS/2 GSCDROM.ADD 1.00
- GoldStar CD-ROM GCD-R420 1.00 Port: 340 Units: 0 IRQ: Polled
-
-
- If no units were detected, the following message is displayed:
-
- IBM OS/2 GSCDROM.ADD 1.00
- 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 /B 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 GoldStar GCD-R420 interface
- card is address 340h. If you have changed the Base I/O Port Address on
- the card, you must change the /B parameter on the BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD
- statement in config.sys.
-
- For example, if you changed the Base I/O Port Address to 360h, the
- statement in config.sys should be as follows:
-
- BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD /P:360
-
-
- 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=GSCDROM.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 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.
-
-
