II. Requirements
=================

2. Minimum VGA graphic display
3. Minimum 2M RAM recommended
4. one free IDE socket
5. one CD/DVD-ROM drive
Software Requirement
--------------------
1. Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later
2. MS-DOS version 6.0 or later
3. MS-DOS CD-Extension (MSCDEX 2.21) or later
III. Installation Procedures
============================
To install CD/DVD-ROM device driver, please follow the steps below:
1. Insert the installation diskette in your system's 3.5-inch floppy
disk drive.
2. Change the directory to that of your floppy disk drive, and type
the following at the DOS prompt:
INSTALL <Enter>
3. Follow the screen instructions to complete the installation.
4. Reboot system to activate the driver.
In general, you can just continuously press the Enter key to install
the default settings. A directory (default C:\CDROM) containing the
CD/DVD-ROM driver will be created during installation. Your
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files will also be modified to include
the following lines:
CONFIG.SYS :
[common]
DEVICE=C:\CDROM\AOATAPI.SYS /D:IDECD000
LASTDRIVE=N
AUTOEXEC.BAT :
C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:IDECD000
IV. Changing Settings after Installation
=========================================
To reconfigure the settings of the CD/DVD-ROM driver, use a text editor,
such as EDIT.COM, to modify the previous two command lines in CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT and then restart your computer to activate it.
Changing the CONFIG.SYS file
-------------------------------------------------------
DEVICE=<path>\AOATAPI.SYS /S:<drive_id> /D:<device_name>
Example:
DEVICE=C:\CDROM\AOATAPI.SYS /S:1 /D:IDECD000
/S:<drive_id>
This determines the setting of the drive to Master or Slave
and the connection to the Primary or Secondary IDE channel.
0: Master Drive on Primary IDE Channel
1: Slave Drive on Primary IDE Channel
2: Master Drive on Secondary IDE Channel
3: Slave Drive on Secondary IDE Channel
/D:<device_name>
The <device_name> is the name MSCDEX will use to find the device
driver. The Maximum length of <device_name> string is 8 characters.
Make sure the <device_name> is the same as specified in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Changing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
----------------------------
MSCDEX /D:driver [/E] [/K] [/S] [/V] [/L:letter] [/M:number]
Example:
C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:IDECD001 /L:G /M:10
For more information, please refer to MS-DOS online help for MSCDEX
by typing HELP MSCDEX.
