OSMMCD - INSTALLATION SUPPORT FOR CD-ROM PACKAGES
10/19/94
================================================================
Installing support for Multimedia CD-ROM packages (Media Vision
Pro Audio Spectrum, Creative Labs Sound Blaster)
================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
---------------------------------------------------------------
These multimedia packages are not supported by the IBM OS/2
Technical Support Center.
The following procedures are not guaranteed to work, but have
been successful in some situations.
For further assistance, contact the manufacturer of your
device.
You must get the OS/2 Device Drivers from the respective
manufacturers before proceeding with this setup. Windows and
DOS drivers are not compatible with OS/2. The drivers are
available from:
Creative Labs -- BBS (405) 742-6660
Files are located in the OS/2 Drivers section.
SBCD_OS2.EXE - Panasonic CD-ROM drives.
SB_OS2.EXE - Latest MMPM/2 drivers.
Both files are self-extracting and has a README file with
installation instructions.
Media Vision -- BBS (510) 770-0527
Files are located in the OS/2 Drivers section.
OS2.EXE - Latest MMPM/2 drivers.
The file contains the latest TMV1SCSI.ADD and MMPM/2 files that
are used with the Pro Audio Spectrum cards. The file is
self-extracting and has a README file with installation
instructions.
NOTE: File names located on Media Vision and Creative Labs BBS
are subject to change.
=================================================================
- If you have installed OS/2 on your system and want to add
CD-ROM support with one of these packages, go to "Installing
CD-ROM after OS/2 2.1 is Installed".
- If you want to install from the CD-ROM, use both of these
procedures.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Installing from the CD-ROM
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Use the DISKCOPY command to make a backup copy of OS/2
installation diskette 1. This makes an exact duplicate of the
diskette.
NOTE: If you use the COPY command, you must copy every file
and change the volume label of the destintion diskette to
DISK 1
2. Delete the following Adaptec and Future Domain SCSI drivers
from the backup copy you created:
AHA152X.ADD
AHA164X.ADD
FD16-700.ADD
FD7000EX.ADD
AHA154X.ADD
AHA174X.ADD
FD8XX.ADD
3. Copy the manufacturer-supplied driver onto your copy of
diskette 1.
4. Edit the CONFIG.SYS to include the following statements:
NOTE: Lowercase represents the lines that currently exist;
CAPS respresent the lines you should add.
** For Sound Blaster use - SBCD2.ADD **
** For Pro Audio Spectrum use - TMV1SCSI.ADD **
set cdrominst=1 ifs=cdfs.ifs /q BASEDEV=
TMV1SCSI.ADD *** or substitute your driver filename ***
or
BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:xxx ( xxx is the Base I/O of the sound card)
5. REM any BASEDEV statements that refer to the filenames you
just deleted for the Adaptec and Future Domain device drivers.
6. Install the support for the packages.
If the installation is successful, continue with the next
section. If not, you need to create the installation
diskettes from the CD "disk images" and install from the
diskettes. This procedure is explained in OS/2 product
documentation.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Installing CD-ROM Support After OS/2 2.1 is Installed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
You need to change the CONFIG.SYS in the root directory of the
OS/2 partition to access the CD-ROM after OS/2 2.1 is installed.
NOTE: X: denotes the OS/2 partition
1. Copy the following files to X:\OS2.
OS2CDROM.DMD
CDFS.IFS.
The files are located on the following diskettes, depending on
OS/2 package you have:
CD-ROM Installation package .......... Diskette 1
3.5 Diskettes, Blue Label ............ Diskette 10
3.5 Diskettes, Salmon Label .......... Diskette 12
5.25 Diskettes, Blue Label ........... Diskette 16
5.25 Diskettes, Salmon Label .......... Diskette 9
NOTE: If the files are "packed", unpack them using the
following commands:
UNPACK A:\CDROMREQ /N:OS2CDROM.DMD
UNPACK A:\CDROMREQ /N:CDFS.IFS
2. Copy the manufacturer-supplied device driver to the X:\OS2
directory.
3. Edit the CONFIG.SYS. Type:
X:\E CONFIG.SYS
4. Make the following changes in the file:
NOTE: Lowercase represents the lines that currently exist;
CAPS respresent the lines you should add.
basedev=ibm1s506.add
basedev=os2dasd.dmd
DEVICE=X:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD
/Q IFS=X:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
set bookshelf=x:\os2\book . . .
further down . . .
codepage=437,850
devinfo=kbd,us,x:\os2\keyboard.dcp
BASEDEV=TMV1SCSI.ADD *** or your device driver filename ***
devinfo=scr,vga,x:\os2\viotbl.dcp . . .
5. Save the file and exit the editor.
6. Perform shutdown and restart the system.
