OSDIN260 - CONFIGURING THE NEC 260 IDE CD-ROM UNDER WARP
11/03/94
================================================================
CONFIGURING THE NEC 260 IDE CD-ROM UNDER WARP
================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
----------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOM: A NEC 260 IDE CD-ROM is not being recognized by OS2
Warp.
RESOLUTION:
Make sure the proper drivers are loading in CONFIG.SYS and
the necessary files are located in the proper directories.
PROCEDURES:
If you have installed OS2 Warp, and are trying to get the
CD-ROM recognized:
1. Go to the OS2 Selective Install utility.
2. Select CD-ROM Device Support
3. Select NEC 260 from the list of CD-ROMs and select OK.
4. Select OK again.
5. Select Install. You need the OS/2 WARP Installation diskettes
to continue.
3. Insert the diskettes when prompted to complete installation.
4. Edit the CONFIG.SYS in the root directory on the hard disk.
Change the line:
From: BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD
To: BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:x /U:y /ATAPI
The /A switch refers to the adapter number that the CD_ROM
is attached to. The /U option references the unit or device
number on a particular adapter. The /ATAPI parameter enables ATA
Packet Interface protocol for the NEC 260. If the CD-ROM is
attached to the second IDE port or adapter in a system and is the
only device on the adapter, you would enter:
BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:1 /U:0 /ATAPI
The CONFIG.SYS should also contain the statements:
BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\OS2CDROM.DMD
IFS=C:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS
These were added by the Selective Install program.
If you are trying to install Warp from the NEC 260 CD-ROM, edit
the CONFIG.SYS file on diskette 1 and configure the
BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD line as above. If OS/2 still does not
recognize the CD-ROM, make sure that the /A and /U parameters are
specified correctly. Contact NEC if there is still a problem.
