- ---------------------------------
- | Sony Device Driver Parameters |
- ---------------------------------
-
- This section lists the parameters which are supported for the
- Sony CD-ROM device driver. The parameters can be changed by modifying
- the BASEDEV=SONY535.ADD line in config.sys. It is recommended
- to change the transfer mode from it default, software polling transfer,
- to software interrupt transfer. This will help lower the CPU utilization
- of CD-ROM applications, enabling better performance for other tasks
- while the CD-ROM drive is being accessed. See the /I parameter below.
-
-
- For the SONY535.ADD device driver, the syntax for the line in config.sys
- is as follows:
-
- BASEDEV=SONY535.ADD [/P:nnn] [I:nn] [/U:d,d...] [/V]
-
-
- [/P:nnn]
-
- Specifies the base I/O port address of the interface card.
- The value must be the same number as the port address selected
- by the jumper on the host interface card.
-
-
- [/I:nn]
-
- Specifies the interrupt request (IRQ) channel number. This must
- match the value specified on the jumper setting on the 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 the IRQ channel on the IRQ jumper block.
- You must obtain and install the plastic jumper switch to enable
- the IRQ channel.
-
-
- [/U:d,d...]
-
- Specifies the drive unit number which the Sony CD-ROM drive is
- set to. The value of d must be set to 0,1,2 or 3. If more than
- one Sony CD-ROM drive is attached to the adapter, this parameter
- must be specified. If only one CD-ROM drive is attached to the
- adapter, and this parameter is not specified, then the default unit
- id used by the driver is 0.
-
-
- [/V]
-
- The device driver will display the device driver revision level
- and CD-ROM product information at boot time.
-
-
-
- Sony CDU-535 Device Driver Parameter Examples
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Sony CD-ROM drive attached to Sony CDB-240 series host adapter:
-
- For example, if the Sony host adapter is set to a base I/O port
- address of 360, the line in config.sys should be:
-
- BASEDEV=SONY535.ADD /P:360
-
-
- 2. Sony CD-ROM drive attached to Sony CDB-240 series host adapter.
-
- If the Sony CD-ROM drive is attached to the Sony host adapter at
- base I/O port address of 360h, and the driver is operating in interrupt
- mode at IRQ channel 5, the line in your config.sys should be:
-
- BASEDEV=SONY535.ADD /P:360 /I:5
-
-
- 3. Multiple Sony CD-ROM drives daisy chained to Sony CDB-240 series
- host adapter
-
- For example, if two Sony CD-ROM drives are daisy chained from
- the Sony host adapter with the first drive set to drive unit 0
- and the second set to drive unit 1, the line in config.sys
- should appear as follows:
-
- BASEDEV=SONY535.ADD /P:340 /U:0,1
-
-
-
-
- --------------------
- | Known Problems |
- --------------------
-
- 1. Slow transfer rate on some 386 class machines.
-
- We are investigating a problem with slow transfer rates on some
- 386 class machines. The transfer rate on those machines only
- achieves a transfer rate of 75K/sec, instead of the 150KB/sec which
- the drive supports.
-
-
- --------------------
- | Trouble shooting |
- --------------------
-
- 1. If you are not able to access the CD-ROM drive:
-
-
- a. Add the /V parameter switch to the BASEDEV=SONY535.ADD statement
- in your CONFIG.SYS file. For example:
-
- BASEDEV=SONY535.ADD /P:340 /V
-
-
- After rebooting, the device driver will display the list of
- drives it has identified. For example:
-
- IBM OS/2 SONY535.ADD 1.00
- SONY CDROM CDU-535-01 1.0a Port:340 Units: 0 IRQ:Polled
-
-
- If no units were detected, the following message is displayed:
-
- IBM OS/2 SONY535.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 /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 Sony interface card
- is address 340h. If you have changed the Base I/O Port Address on
- the card, you must change the /P parameter on the BASEDEV=SONY535.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=SONY535.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=SONY535.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 SONY535.ADD device driver should be run using the Software
- Interrupt transfer option to enable the best performance in OS/2.
- The IRQ (interrupt request) channel assigned by the jumper on the
- interface card must match the the interrupt channel specified using
- the /I parameter on the BASEDEV=SONY535.ADD statement in config.sys.
- You must assign an IRQ channel that is not being used by any other
- interface cards on your computer.
-
- For example, to enable the Software Interrupt transfer option for
- IRQ channel 5, the statement in config.sys should be as follows:
-
- BASEDEV=SONY535.ADD /P:340 /I:5
-
-
- 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.
-
-
