-
- 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
-
- FOR OEM: It is suggested to disable, turbo, cache, shadow rom.
- (Packard Bell need not disable above features.)
-
- ALL SYSTEMS: Video needs to be set to VGA mode, 640 X 480,
- 8 bit slot or mode if possible, disable
- autosensing if you have cability. Disconnect
- modem, tape back-ups, network card, scanners, etc.
- while installing. After installation completes,
- enable and connect all features and devices.
-
- 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.
-
- 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.*
-
- There is now room to add device drivers to Diskette 1.

- 4. Chinon CD-ROM drive must be attached to a SCSI adapter which
- is supported in OS/2 with OS/2 SCSI Adapter Device Driver (.ADD).
- Currently incompatible is the Chinon SCSI adapter which is
- typically bundled with the drive. Chinon is developing an OS/2
- Adapter Device Driver for their SCSI card, but no date has been
- committed.
-
- 5. The Hitachi non-SCSI CD-ROM device drivers are available from
- Hitachi.
-
- 6. TEXEL 3024 CDROM needs a firmware upgrade to version 1.16,
- if you use the driver from SP (ServicePak) XR06200.
- Please contact vendor for the firmware upgrade.

- NONSCSI CD-ROM DEVICE DRIVER PARAMETERS
-
- Mitsumi CD-ROM Device Driver Parameters
- ---------------------------------------
- The parameters for the following CD-ROM adapter device drivers are
- described in MITFX001.ADD.
-
- This device driver supports the following CD-ROM drives:
- Mitsumi CRMC-FX001D
- Mitsumi CRMC-FX001
- Mitsumi CRMC-LU005S
- Mitsumi CRMC-LU002S
- BSR 6800
- Tandy CDR-1000
-
- 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
- Sony CDU-7305
-
- 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 ProAudio Spectrum-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 ProAudio
- Spectrum-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.
-
- Parameter Examples
- ------------------
-
- 1. Sony CDU-31A CD-ROM drive attached to Sony CDB-334 host adapter:
-
- The Sony CDB-334 host adapter supports base I/O port addresses of
- 320h, 330h, 340h or 360h. If the CDB-334 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 Sony CDB-334 host adapter is
- set to a base I/O port address of 360, line in CONFIG.SYS should be:
- BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /P:0360
-
- 2. Sony CDU-31A CD-ROM drive attached to Media Vision ProAudio
- Spectrum-16 host adapter, the line in CONFIG.SYS should be:
- BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /AT:08
-
- 3. Sony CDU-31A CD-ROM drive attached to Creative Labs Sound Blaster
- Pro, Sound Blaster 16, or Sound Blaster 16 MultiCD host adapter:
-
- The port address specified on the BASEDEV statement in CONFIG.SYS
- 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

- 3. If your CDROM Is Not Explicitly Mentioned Above:
- ==============================================================================
- When installing OS/2 2.1 from a CDROM not mentioned above, the
- following instructions may allow CDROM to operate under OS/2. If
- unsuccessful please contact the manufacturer or supplier of the CDROM.
-
- 1. Make the diskettes images from the CD ROM(DOS must be present)
- Go to images subdirectory when started 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 subdirectory
- (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 in order
- to run. If this procedure does not work, contact the vendor or
- manufacturer of the CDROM for the appropriate drivers for OS/2 2.1.
-
-
