- NEW UTILITIES IN CORELSCSI VERSION 1.1
- ======================================
-
-
- CorelSCSI version 1.1 includes several new utilities
- described in this README file.
-
- ASPICD.EXE
- ----------
-
- ASPICD.EXE lets you start, stop, and resume audio playback
- on SCSI-2 compatible CD-ROM drives. ASPICD.EXE bypasses both
- CorelCDX or MSCDEX and the CD-ROM device driver and talks
- directly to the ASPI manager.
-
- By default, ASPICD.EXE begins playback at the first audio
- track of the first CD-ROM drive found on the first host adapter
- you've installed. You can use the following command line options:
-
- - play -- starts the default audio playback. You can specify
- "play" with the following options to change the default
- audio playback:
-
- - t# -- specifies a track number using the
- # variable
- - h# -- specifies a host adapter using the
- # variable
- - i# -- specifies a drive using # to
- indicate the drive's SCSI ID
- - l# -- specifies a slot using # to indicate a
- SCSI LUN
-
- - stop -- stops audio playback
-
- - h# -- specifies a host adapter using the
- # variable
- - i# -- specifies a drive using # to
- indicate the drive's SCSI ID
- - l# -- specifies a slot using # to indicate a
- SCSI LUN
-
- - resume -- resumes audio playback
-
- - h# -- specifies a host adapter using the
- # variable
- - i# -- specifies a drive using # to
- indicate the drive's SCSI ID
- - l# -- specifies a slot using # to indicate a
- SCSI LUN
-
- - ? -- displays help screen
-
- You can use the following batch files to start ASPICD.EXE
- with the required command line options:
-
- - CDSTART.BAT -- starts audio playback
- - CDSTOP.BAT -- stops audio playback
- - CDPAUSE.BAT -- " " "
- - CDRESUME.BAT -- resumes audio playback
-
-
- CDOFF.EXE
- ---------
-
- CDOFF recovers drive letters assigned to CD-ROM drives. Run
- CDOFF immediately before removing CD-ROM extensions
- (CorelCDX or MSCDEX) from memory.
-
- Using public domain on shareware utilities such as MARK/RELEASE,
- you can load and unload CD-ROM extensions. However, each
- time you load CD-ROM extensions, it uses an available drive
- letter for each supported CD-ROM drive. When you remove
- the CD-ROM extensions, the drive letters aren't recovered. Each
- time you load CD-ROM extensions, more available drive letters
- are used. When the LASTDRIVE limit is reached, the CD-ROM
- extensions can't load because no more drive letters are available.
-
- CDOFF is also useful if you want to recover only a few specific
- CD-ROM drive letters. Some simple tests are performed on
- the drive letter you specify to prevent invalidating a hard, floppy,
- or RAM disk. However, these tests are not extensive -- they may
- not prevent invalidating network drives or other 'phantom' drives.
- If this occurs, reboot your system to return it to normal.
-
-
- CDVOL.EXE
- ---------
-
- CDVOL.EXE lets you adjust the volume level on a SCSI-2
- compatible CD-ROM drive by talking directly to the ASPI manager.
-
- By default, the volume level is set to the maximum for the
- first CD-ROM drive found on the first adapter. You can
- change defaults using these command line options:
-
- - ### -- new volume level (0-255)
- - i# -- SCSI ID of CD-ROM drive
- - l# -- SCSI LUN of CD-ROM drive
- - h# -- host adapter number
- - ? -- display a help screen
-
- Although the command line accepts a range of 256 volume
- settings, most CD-ROM drives don't support 256 different
- volume settings. If you set this value to 0, audio output
- is muted. If you set this value to 255, audio output is
- set to maximum. Values between 0 and 255 are mapped
- by the drive into one of its supported volume levels.
- You may need to try several settings to see which
- values provide audible changes. Try multiples of 16.
-
- To use CDVOL, you must have
-
- - the ASPI manager loaded
- - a 'SCSI-2' compatible CD-ROM drive connected to your system
-
- The CD-ROM device driver and CorelCDX (or MSCDEX)
- aren't required.
-
-
- DRVCD.EXE
- ---------
-
- DRVCD.EXE lets you start, stop, and resume audio playback
- on a CD-ROM drive. DRVCD.EXE bypasses CorelCDX
- (or MSCDEX) and talks directly to the CD-ROM device driver.
-
- By default, DRVCD.EXE begins playback at the first audio
- track of the first CD-ROM drive supported by the CD-ROM device
- driver named 'MSCD001'. You can use the following
- command line options:
-
- - play -- starts the default audio playback. You can specify
- "play" with the following options to change the
- default audio playback:
-
- - t# -- specifies a track number using the
- # variable
- - n# -- specifies the number of 'MSCD###' CD-ROM
- driver
- - u# -- specifies the sub-unit number within
- CD-ROM driver
- - d:<DRVNAME> -- specifies a CD-ROM driver
- named other than 'MSCD###'
-
- - stop -- stops audio playback
-
- - n# -- specifies the number of 'MSCD###' CD-ROM
- driver
- - u# -- specifies the sub-unit number within
- CD-ROM driver
- - d:<DRVNAME> -- specifies a CD-ROM driver
- named other than 'MSCD###'
-
- - resume -- resumes audio playback
-
- - n# -- specifies the number of 'MSCD###' CD-ROM
- driver
- - u# -- specifies the sub-unit number within
- CD-ROM driver
- - d:<DRVNAME> -- specifies a CD-ROM driver
- named other than 'MSCD###'
-
- - ? -- displays help screen
-
-
- DRVVOL.EXE
- ----------
-
- DRVVOL.EXE adjusts the volume level on a CD-ROM
- drive by talking directly to the CD-ROM device driver.
-
- By default, volume level is set to the maximum for the first
- CD-ROM drive supported by the CD-ROM device driver
- named 'MSCD001'. You can change defaults using
- these command line options:
-
- - ### -- new volume level (0-255)
- - n# -- number of 'MSCD###' CD-ROM driver
- - u# -- sub-unit number within CD-ROM driver
- - d:<DRVNAME> -- specifies a CD-ROM driver
- named other than 'MSCD###'
-
- Although the command line accepts a range of 256 volume
- settings, most CD-ROM drives don't support 256 different
- volume settings. If you set this value to 0, audio output
- is muted. If you set this value to 255, audio output is
- set to maximum. Values between 0 and 255 are mapped
- by the drive into one of its supported volume levels.
- You may need to try several settings to see which
- values provide audible changes. Try multiples of 16.

- CORELCDX.COM
- ------------
-
- CORELCDX.COM is provided by Corel to emulate MSCDEX version 2.20.
- For more information about CorelCDX, read the CORELCDX.TXT
- README file after you've installed CorelSCSI.
