| OVERVIEW |
------------
This README describes an OS/2 device driver (CHINCDS1.FLT) for the
Chinon 435 and 535 CD-ROM drives.
The Chinon CD-ROM drive MUST be attached to a SCSI adapter which
is supported under OS/2 with an OS/2 SCSI Adapter Device Driver (.ADD).
Currently, there is no support for the Chinon SCSI adapter which is
typically bundled with the Chinon drive. Chinon is developing an OS/2
adapter device driver for their SCSI card, but it is not available at
this time.
Multisession photo CD is currently not supported for the Chinon 535.
The OS2CDROM.DMD device driver will be updated at a later date
to support this capability for the Chinon 535. Single session photo CD
is supported for both the Chinon 435 and 535.
Supported Features
------------------
The OS/2 Chinon CD-ROM device driver (CHINCDS1.FLT) supports the
following features:
* Reads data from CD-ROM discs conforming to the High Sierra/ISO-9660
file formats.
* Plays audio from standard audio CDs or mixed mode CD-ROM discs
containing both data and audio
* Single session photo CD
* Reads data from Mode 2 Form 1 or Mode 2 Form 2 sector formats
* MMPM/2 Software Motion Video
* MMPM/2 CD Audio Player
* Software lock, unlock and eject
THIS CD-ROM DEVICE DRIVER IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH THE OS/2 2.1 PRODUCT
AND IS GOVERNED BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE OS/2 PROGRAM LICENSE
AGREEMENT.

| INSTALLATION |
----------------
Before starting the installation procedure, you should unzip the
files included in the CHINON.ZIP file and copy them to a diskette.
The diskette you created will be referred to as the "Chinon CD-ROM Device
Driver Diskette" in the following installation instructions.
The following files are included in the CHINON.ZIP file:
CHINCDS1.FLT - OS/2 device driver for Chinon 435, 535
CHINCDS1.DDP - Installation profile
README.CHI - This README file.
Installation if OS/2 2.1 is already installed on your fixed disk
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Run the Device Driver installation program
a. Open the OS/2 System folder on the desktop.
b. Open the System Setup folder.
c. Open Device Driver Install.
d. Insert the "Chinon CD-ROM Device Driver Diskette"
e. Select Install
f. Select the device driver to install from the list
g. Select OK.
(Note: You do not need to reboot OS/2 before starting step 2 below).
2. After the Device Driver Installation is complete, you must run
Selective Install to install the files for the OS/2 CD-ROM Device
Manager and OS/2 CD-ROM File System.
a. Open the OS/2 System folder on the desktop.
b. Open the System Setup folder.
c. Open Selective Install
d. Select the CD-ROM Device Support check box
e. Select OK
f. Scroll to the bottom of the CD-ROM device list table and
select the choice OTHER
g. Select OK
h. If you have not installed support for your SCSI adapter, then Select
the SCSI Adapter Support check box to add the device driver
for your SCSI adapter. Select the SCSI adapter from the table
and continue with the installation procedure.
i. Select the OK push button to proceed from the System Configuration
screen to the OS/2 Setup and Installation window
j. Select Install
k. When prompted to do so, insert the numbered installation diskettes
or installation CD-ROM from the OS/2 2.1 product.
3. Shut down and restart your system
Installation from the CD-ROM version of OS/2 2.1
------------------------------------------------
1. Make a copy of the OS/2 2.1 diskette labeled "Diskette 1"
2. Copy the file CHINCDS1.FLT from the "Chinon 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=CHINCDS1.FLT
4. Begin the installation by inserting the Installation Diskette
into drive A and restarting the system. When prompted to insert
Diskette 1, insert the copy that you modifed.
5. When the System Configuration screen is displayed during installation,
the CD-ROM Device Support field will display "Other". DO NOT MODIFY
THE CHOICE and continue with the installation.
6. Shut down and reboot the system
Installation from the diskette version of OS/2 2.1
--------------------------------------------------
1. Install the OS/2 2.1 product from the diskettes
2. Go to the section above titled "Installation if OS/2 2.1 is already
installed on your fixed disk".
-------------------------
| CONFIG.SYS statements |
-------------------------
After installation is complete, you should have the following
statements in your CONFIG.SYS file.
BASEDEV=CHINCDS1.FLT
DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS
You should also have a BASEDEV= statement in your config.sys file
for your OS/2 SCSI adapter device driver. For example, if the
CD-ROM drive is attached to an Adaptec 1542 adapter, you should have
the following line in config.sys:
BASEDEV=AHA154X.ADD

| Reporting Problems |
----------------------
Support for the beta test is provided on the PSPBETA forum on CompuServe.
All bug reports, questions and comments should be appended to this forum.
Bug reports must include the following information:
CD-ROM Product ID: i.e. Chinon 535
CD-ROM Firmware Level:
Device Driver Transfer Mode: Software Polling or Interrupt driven
Host CPU type and speed: (i.e. 25MZ 486)
The CD-ROM product ID and firmware level can be displayed at
boot time by adding the /V switch to the DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD line
in config.sys. For example, the following line may be displayed at boot
time after the OS/2 logo screen is displayed:
IBM OS/2 OS2CDROM.DMD 1.00
CHINON CD-ROM CDS-435 M60
The firmware level in the example above is M60
