OSCMMCDR - GENERAL CD-ROM INFORMATION FOR OS/2 WARP
01/08/96
=======================================================================
General CD-ROM Information for OS/2 Warp
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedure
-------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
This document contains information about system requirements and
installation, and SCSI and non-SCSI device-driver parameters. For
information about IDE CD-ROM support, and a list of compatible device
drivers, see technical documents:
* OSMMCDID - IDE CD-ROM support for OS/2 Warp
* OSMMCDDD - CD-ROM Compatibility List for OS/2 Warp
RESOLUTION
Notes:
* You need 5 MB of hard disk space to install Multimedia.
* For Non-IBM Systems: It is suggested that you disable turbo, cache,
and shadow RAM. (Not required for Packard Bell systems.)
* For All Systems: Set video to VGA, 640x480, 8-bit slot or mode, if
possible. Disable autosensing, if possible. Disconnect modem, tape
backup, network card, scanners, and other devices and features during
installation. After installation, enable and connect all features and
devices.
If you are using non-IBM device drivers for the CD-ROM, and a device
driver does not exist on Diskette 1, the device driver might not be
copied to the hard disk after the installation is complete. Do a
DISKCOPY of Diskette 1; then edit the CONFIG.SYS file and add this
statement:
COPYFROMFLOPPY=1
The Installation program will now copy files from Diskette 1 as if the
diskette were in the drive and you were installing from a drive other
than A.
The CONFIG.SYS file has the following statements for CD-ROM:
DEVICE=x:\OS2\BOOT\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
IFS=x:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS /Q
BASEDEV=<device_driver_name> /P:xxx
where x is the drive where OS/2 is installed; xxx are the CD-ROM
parameters; /Q is quiet mode (error messages are not displayed); /V is
view mode (error messages are displayed).
If the files specified in the statements are not present, you can
manually add them. They are on Diskette 2 in the bundled files,
CDROMREQ and CDROMFLT.
If the device driver is not listed or you need assistance, contact the
vendor for an OS/2 driver.
CD-ROM device drivers are constantly updated. If you are installing
OS/2 Warp and the CD-ROM driver that came with OS/2 Warp is not
recognized, download the latest drivers from the IBM PCC BBS at
919-517-0001. The file you need is CDDRVR.ZIP and contains the
following drivers:
LMS205 22055 11-05-94
LMS206 23442 11-05-94
MITFX 16359 11-06-94
SBCD2 15227 11-06-94
SONY53 14630 11-05-94
Note: If you cannot connect to the BBS, contact your local IBM branch
office.
Philips LMS CM205 and CM225 are on the Installation Diskette. For
CD-ROM installation, you must add the driver to Diskette 1 and the
CONFIG.SYS file:
1. DISKCOPY Diskette 1.
2. Insert the COPY of Diskette 1 in the diskette drive.
3. Type DEL LMS206.ADD and press Enter.
4. Copy the file, LM205.ADD, from the Installation Diskette to the copy
of Diskette 1.
5. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on the copy of Diskette 1:
Change: BASEDEV=LMS206.ADD
To: REM BASEDEV=LMS206.ADD
Add: BASEDEV=LMS205.ADD
6. Restart the installation.
7. When prompted, insert the modified Diskette 1.
Note: If you're adding a device driver to Diskette 1 and the
diskette does not have enough space, you can delete the
following files from the COPY of Diskette 1:
For a non-Micro Channel system: Files IBM2.*
For a Micro Channel system: Files IBM1.*
Non-SCSI CD-ROM Device-Driver Parameters
----------------------------------------
Refer to the User's Guide to OS/2 Warp for information about CD-ROM
parameters and CD-ROM problems.
Mitsumi
-------
The device-driver parameters for the following CD-ROM drives are in
MITFX001.ADD:
Mitsumi CRMC-FX001D
Mitsumi CRMC-FX001
Mitsumi CRMC-LU005S
Mitsumi CRMC-LU002S
BSR 6800
Tandy CDR-1000
Parameter Definitions
/P:nnn Specifies the base I/O port address of the interface card. This
must be same number specified on the interface card.
/I:nn Specifies the interrupt request (IRQ) channel number. This must
match the IRQ value selected on the host interface card. If
this parameter is not specified, the device driver uses
software polling transfer.
/V Verbose. The device-driver revision level and CD-ROM
product-identification information is displayed when
you start the system.
Parameter Examples
1. Mitsumi CD-ROM drive attached to Mitsumi host adapter:
If the Mitsumi host adapter is set to a base I/O port address of 320,
the BASEDEV statement in the CONFIG.SYS file is:
BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD /P:320
2. Mitsumi CD-ROM drive attached to Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16
MultiCD.
If the Mitsumi CD-ROM port on the Sound Blaster 16 MultiCD is set to
an I/O port address of 320, the CONFIG.SYS statement is:
BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD /P:320
3. To enable interrupt-transfer mode, which improves performance, the
/I parameter must be specified. For example, to enable
interrupt-transfer mode for IRQ channel 10 at an I/O port address of
320h, the CONFIG.SYS statement is:
BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD /P:320 /I:10
Sony
----
The device-driver parameters for the following CD-ROM drives are in
SONY31A.ADD:
Sony CDU-31A
Sony CDU-33A
Sony CDU-7305
Sony CDU-7405
Parameter Definitions
/A:n Identifies a specific adapter, n. The adapter is specified as a
single-digit value which is zero based (that is, the first
adapter is specified as /A:0).
/AT:dd Sets the adapter type connected to the CD-ROM drive. Supported
values are:
00 = Sony CDB-334 (default)
08 = Media Vision Pro AudioSpectrum-16
/P:nnnn Specifies the base I/O port address of the interface card. This
must be the same number specified on the interface card.
If this parameter is not specified, the default port address
for the host adapter is used. For the Sony CDB-334 host
adapter, the default is 0340. For the Media Vision Pro
AudioSpectrum 16 card, the default is 1F88.
/I:nn Specifies the interrupt request (IRQ) channel number. This must
match the IRQ value selected on the host interface card. If
this parameter is not specified, the device driver uses
software polling transfer.
Note: Some Sony host adapters were shipped without the plastic
jumper switch on the IRQ jumper block that allows you to
select the IRQ channel. You must obtain and install this
jumper switch to enable the IRQ channel.
/V Verbose. The device-driver revision level and CD-ROM
product-identification information is displayed when you start
the system.
Parameter Examples
1. Sony CDU-31A CD-ROM drive attached to Sony CDB-334 host adapter:
The Sony CDB-334 host adapter supports base I/O port addresses of
320h, 330h, 340h, and 360h. If the CDB-334 host adapter is set to
any port address other than the default of 340h, the CONFIG.SYS
statement must be modified. For example, if the Sony CDB-334 host
adapter is set to a base I/O port address of 360, the BASEDEV
statement in the CONFIG.SYS file is:
BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /P:0360
2. Sony CDU-31A CD-ROM drive attached to Media Vision Pro AudioSpectrum
16 host adapter: The CONFIG.SYS statement is:
BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /AT:08
3. Sony CDU-31A CD-ROM drive attached to the Creative Labs Sound
Blaster Pro, Sound Blaster 16, or Sound Blaster 16 MultiCD host
adapter:
The port address specified in the CONFIG.SYS BASEDEV statement
should be 10h above the base I/O port address specified on the
adapter. For example, if the Sound Blaster card is set for a
base I/O port address of 220h, the CONFIG.SYS statement is:
BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /P:0230
4. To enable interrupt-transfer mode, which improves performance, the
/I parameter must be specified. For example to enable
interrupt-transfer mode for IRQ channel 5 at an I/O port address of
360h, the CONFIG.SYS statement is:
BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD /A:0 /P:0360 /I:5

If Your CD-ROM Drive Is Not Explicitly Mentioned Above
------------------------------------------------------
When installing OS/2 Warp from a CD-ROM drive not mentioned above, use
the following instructions to enable the drive to operate with OS/2
Warp. If unsuccessful, please contact the drive vendor.
1. Make diskette images from the CD-ROM, using DOS. You need formatted
diskettes to copy the images for the Installation program, printer
drivers, display drivers, and other options, such as Multimedia and
the BonusPak.
2. Disconnect the CD-ROM drive.
3. Install OS/2 Warp from the diskettes.
4. Copy device drivers (files with the .ADD extension) to the \OS2\BOOT
subdirectory (CD-ROM/sound card or adapter).
5. Connect the CD-ROM drive and plug in the sound card and the
controller/adapter.
6. Do a Selective Install for CD-ROM:
a. Select OS/2 System.
b. Select System Setup.
c. Select Selective Install.
This process modifies the CONFIG.SYS file. Statements that should
appear are:
DEVICE=x:\OS2\BOOT\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
IFS=x:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS /Q
BASEDEV=<device_driver_name>
where x is the drive where OS/2 is installed.
All device drivers must be compatible with OS/2 Warp to run. If this
procedure does not work, contact the vendor of the CD-ROM drive for the
appropriate drivers.
