| Philips LMS Device Driver Parameters |
----------------------------------------
This section lists the parameters which are supported for the
Philips LMS CD-ROM device driver. The parameters can be changed
by modifying the BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD line in config.sys.
For the LMS205.ADD device driver, the syntax for the line in config.sys
is as follows:
BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD [/P:nnn] [/u:X] [/m:Y] [/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.
[/u:X]
Identifies a specific unit, X.
Valid values for X are 0, 1, 2, 3. The default is zero.
LMS205 locates all CM250 and CM260 host adapters and assigns unit
numbers based on the order in which each was found.
This parameter tells LMS205 which BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD line it is
currently processing.
[/m:Y]
Indicates the number of 2500 byte CD frame buffers that should
be allocated by the LMS205.ADD driver.
Valid values for Y are 8,..., 26. The default is 16. Any value below
the minimum (8) will be assigned the minimum (8).
[/V]
The device driver will display the device driver revision level
and CD-ROM product information at boot time.
For example,
IBM OS/2 LMS205.ADD 1.00 02-NOV-93
Philips LMS Unit 0: CM205 CDROM drive, FR4, CM260 HA Port: 0340 IRQ: 05
--------------------
| Trouble shooting |
--------------------
1. If you are not able to access the CD-ROM drive:
a. Add the /V parameter switch to the BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD statement
in your CONFIG.SYS file. For example:
BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD /V
After rebooting, the device driver will display the list of
drives it has identified. For example:
IBM OS/2 LMS205.ADD 1.00 02-NOV-93
Philips LMS Unit 0: CM205 CDROM drive, FR4, CM260 HA Port:0340 IRQ:05
If no units were detected, one of the following messages is displayed:
IBM OS/2 LMS205.ADD 1.00 02-NOV-93
Unit 0 not found. Unable to locate port.
IBM OS/2 LMS205.ADD 1.00 02-NOV-93
Unit 0 not found. Found port, unable to locate IRQ.
IBM OS/2 LMS205.ADD 1.00 02-NOV-93
Unit 0 not found. Found port and IRQ, drive not responding.
If no units were detected, see step 1b below.
If units were detected, see step 1c below.
b. Check that the adapter is properly installed.
Ensure that all cables are attached properly.
Ensure that the CD-ROM host adapter uses a unique
I/O port address and a unique IRQ channel number.
c. Make sure all the required files to operate the CD-ROM drive have
been installed. Your CONFIG.SYS file should have the following
statements:
DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS
BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD
If you do not have the OS2CDROM.DMD or CDFS.IFS statements in
your config.sys, you must use the OS/2 Selective Install
utility to install these 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.
