- TITLE: 941209 WHAT IDE CD-ROMS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH OS2 Warp?
- AND HOW DO I MAKE THEM WORK?
-
- DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:
- CDROM NOT WORKING UNDER WARP
-
- SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION:
- What Follows is a list of CD-ROMs that are known to be compatible
- with Warp and how to make them work.
-
- DETAILS OF RESOLUTION:
-
- The IDE hard disk driver, IBM1S506.ADD, was made aware of ATAPI.
- This driver will claim all ATAPI devices and mark them as generic
- devices. The IBMIDECD.FLT filter loads afterwards and scans all
- drivers for generic ATAPI devices. If it locates one, it will decide
- if that device is a CDROM.
-
- Note: In addition to IBM1S506.ADD and IBMIDECD.FLT, all CD-ROM
- in the table below require the OS2CDROM.DMD and CDFS.IFS device
- These are added automatically when the selective install is done.
-
- CDROM.
-
- An IDE CDROM cannot be a master while a hard drive is being a slave.
- You cannot use the IBMINT13.I13 for an IDE CDROM.

- Notes:
-
- 1. The Mitsumi and Sony cdroms may have problems because they are not
- ATAPI 1.2 compliant. This should be fixed with updated drivers.
-
- 2. NEC 260 cdroms that ship with some Gateway systems adhere to the
- 1.7 spec instead of 1.2. For these cdroms, the BASEDEV=IBM1S506. A
- line in the OS2 config.sys file has to be edited as follows:
-
- BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:x /U:y /ATAPI
-
- The /A switch refers to the adapter number that the cdrom
- is attached to. The /U option references the unit or device
- number on a particular adapter. The /ATAPI parameter
- enables ATA Packet Interface protocol for the NEC 260. If the
- cdrom is attached to the second IDE port or adapter in a
- system and is the only device on the adapter you would
- enter:
-
- BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:1 /U:0 /ATAPI
