A. IBM OS2 IDE CDROM Installation:
1. This zip file includes the following files from the IBM BBS
(407-443-9000):
IBM1S506.ADD 11-10-1994
IBMIDECD.FLT 11-10-1994
OS2CDROM.DMD 11-10-1994
If IBM provides newer CDROM drivers with new feature or bug fixed
in the BBS, please download and use the updated drivers.
A DTC OS2 driver - DTCIDE.ADD is also included in the zip file.
2. Backup IBM OS2 "Diskette 1". Copy these files to this backup
diskette. If the diskette has not sufficient space, delete
FD8XX.ADD, FD16-700.ADD, FD7000X.ADD and DPT20XX.ADD. For any
file deleted, the corresponding line in the "CONFIG.SYS" file
must also be remarked. For example,
REM BASEDEV=FD8XX.ADD
3. Edit the configuration file "CONFIG.SYS" in the backup diskette.
Locate the BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD line
change this line to "BASEDEV=DTCIDE.ADD /V"
Add the lines
DEVICE=OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
IFS=CDFS.IFS /Q
BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT /V
after DTCIDE line.
Delete the repeat line in other places if there is any. For example,
there may be a line like "DEVICE=OS2CDROM.DMD". Delete it. Note that
no "/Q" option is specified in that line.
4. Insert the IBM OS2 "Installation diskette" into the floppy drive and
start the installation using the backup "diskette 1" whenever
"Diskette 1" is requested. Choose the "Advanced Installation" rather
than the "Easy Installation" when these options are presented.
5. When you are asked to reboot to continue installation, insert the
DOS bootable diskette and reboot to DOS.
6. During the above installation, the system copied the three files
DTCIDE.ADD
OS2CDROM.DMD
IBMIDECD.FLT
to the hard disk, some from the CDROM and some from the floppy.
Those from the CDROMs are outdated and need to be replaced by those
from the BBS. To find DTCIDE.ADD in all directories of the hard
disk drive, issue the command:
DIR /S DTCIDE.ADD
This file has the "ReadOnly" attribute set and requires
removing the protection first before replaced. For example, to
replace the one in the "\" directory, execute:
ATTRIB -S -H -R C:\DTCIDE.ADD
and place the backup "DISKETTE 1" into the floppy drive and type:
COPY A:DTCIDE.ADD C:\DTCIDE.ADD /Y
Update above three files in all directories similarly. Note that
OS2CDROM.DMD and IBMIDECD.FLT are not write protected.
7. Reboot the system with the hard disk and continue the installation
through completion.
8. The CDROM is supported automatically.
B. If you encounter a problem with the DTC driver in the above procedure,
try the IBM driver as follows:
1. Edit the configuration file "CONFIG.SYS" in the backup diskette.
Locate the BASEDEV=DTCIDE.ADD line and change this line to
"BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:0 /U:1 /ATAPI" assuming the CDROM is in Slave
(U=1) of the primary controller (A=0),
Add the lines
DEVICE=OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
IFS=CDFS.IFS /Q
BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT
after IBM1S506 line.
Delete the repeat line in other places if there is any. For example,
there may be a line like "DEVICE=OS2CDROM.DMD". Delete it. Note that
no "/Q" option is specified in that line.
2. Insert the IBM OS2 "Installation diskette" into the floppy drive and
start the installation using the backup "diskette 1" whenever
"Diskette 1" is requested. Choose the "Advanced Installation" rather
than the "Easy Installation" when these options are presented.
3. When you are asked to reboot to continue installation, insert the
DOS bootable diskette and reboot to DOS.
4. During the above installation, the system copied the three files
IBMIS506.ADD
OS2CDROM.DMD
IBMIDECD.FLT
to the hard disk, some from the CDROM and some from the floppy.
Those from the CDROMs are outdated and need to be replaced by those
from the BBS. To find IBM1S506.ADD in all directories of the hard
disk drive, issue the command:
DIR /S IBM1S506.ADD
Under OS2 WARP, it will be in the root ("\") and the "\OS2\BOOT"
directories. This file has the "ReadOnly" attribute set and requires
removing the protection first before replaced. For example, to
replace the one in the "\OS2\BOOT" directory, execute:
ATTRIB -S -H -R C:\OS2\BOOT\IBM1S506.ADD
and place the backup "DISKETTE 1" into the floppy drive and type:
COPY A:IBM1S506.ADD C:\OS2\BOOT\IBM1S506.ADD /Y
Update above three files in all directories similarly. Note that
OS2CDROM.DMD and IBMIDECD.FLT are not write protected.
5. Reboot the system with the hard disk and continue the installation
through completion.
C. If both above procedures fails to install OS2 from the IDE CDROM, check
the hardware setup including the cable orientation, drive's master/slave
jumper setting and the connector etc. It is also possible that the CDROM
is not supported by the "IBMIDECD.FLT" filter provided by IBM. Check with
the CDROM vendor whether they supply their own filter code. If they do,
replace the IBMIDECD.FLT with ther vendor's filter in the above procedures.
Sometimes, the CDROM drive takes long period of time to come ready, it may
require "warm boot" or "reset" to detect the CDROM's presence.
