This file contains additional information and changes about the
various software that was not available at printing time.
Aztech IDE CD-ROM Drive Installation
====================================
The Aztech IDE CD-ROM device driver is bundled in this installation
under the {...\DRIVERS} directory. To configure your Aztech IDE CD-ROM
drive, connect it to the primary or secondary IDE interfaces on the
motherboard (or I/O card) and run the CONFIG.EXE program from the \UTILITY
directory. The following lines will be appended into the CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE={...\DRIVERS}\SGIDECD.SYS /D:MSCD000
and the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
{...}\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000
where {...} represents the respective paths of the drivers.
If you are connecting the CD-ROM drive to your primary IDE interface,
include the following statement in the Windows file SYSTEM.INI under
the [Enh386] section:
32BitDiskAccess=Off
Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions (MSCDEX.EXE)
========================================
The above file is needed for operation of CD-ROM drives under the DOS
environment. This file is only bundled with DOS version 6.x. Therefore,
if you are using DOS version 5, please contact your local Microsoft's
dealers for a copy of MSCDEX.EXE (for DOS version 5 usage).
Using Digital (.WAV) Audio with DOS 6.x's DoubleSpace*
======================================================
The DoubleSpace utility included with DOS 6.x can cause problems
if you attempt to play or record "high data rate" (i.e.: stereo/
44.1kHz/16-bit) digital audio to or from a compressed disk.
Therefore, if you anticipate that you will be playing or recording
a lot of stereo/44.1kHz/16-bit digital audio, you should set up a
non-compressed drive partition and configure the audio application
to use this drive as their Work and Temp directories.
For information on setting up a non-compressed partition for your
hard drive, refer to your DOS 6.x Users Guide.
*The same procedure should be followed if you are using Stacker, a
third-party disk compression utility.
Notes About Using EMM386.EXE
============================
When running applications with EMM386.EXE installed, the following
error message may appear:
"EMM386 DMA buffer is too small"
You can overcome this problem in two ways:
- remove the EMM386.EXE entry from the CONFIG.SYS file
OR
- add the following parameter to the EMM386.EXE entry in the
CONFIG.SYS file:
D=64
where D specifies how many kilobytes of memory should be
reserved for buffered Direct Memory Access (DMA).
An example of this may be:
C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE D=64
