- TITLE: 950111 ATAPI.ZIP CONTAIN IBM OS/2 2.X / 3.X IDE CD DRIVER FOR
- IDE CDROM DRIVES
-
- You MUST use these NEW files to replace the existing copies supplied
- by whatever version of OS/2 you are using.
-
- Installation if OS/2 is already installed on your fixed disk
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- 1. you must run Selective Install to install the files for the OS/2
- CD-ROM Device Manager and OS/2 CD-ROM File System.
- a. Open the OS/2 System folder on the desktop.
- b. Open the System Setup folder.
- c. Open Selective Install
- d. Select the CD-ROM Device Support check box
- e. Select OK
- f. Scroll to the bottom of the CD-ROM device list table and
- select the choice OTHER (OS/2 2.1) or Non-listed IDE CD-ROM (WARP)
- g. Select OK
- h. Select the OK push button to proceed from the System
- Configuration screen to the OS/2 Setup and Installation window
- i. Select Install
- j. When prompted to do so, insert the numbered installation
-
- 2. Copy the files provided in this package OVER those installed in
- step 1, to their proper location on your system. On Warp this is
- \OS2\BOOT. Check by doing a 'DIR IBM1S506.ADD /S' on your system
- <== DIR command
-
- 3. IDE CD ROMs that adhere to the ATAPI specification of February 1994
- will be detected automatically if they are configured on the
- Primary or Secondary IDE channel. If your IDE channel is not
- the primary or secondary,
- or if your IDE channel is not using the default io ports and IRQs,
- do a 'HELP IBM1S506.ADD' at an OS/2 command prompt to get detailed
- information on changing or adding channels.
-
- 4. Some drives do not respond to an ATAPI command from the February
- Spec.These drives can not be auto detected and require an additional
- parameter on the IBM1S506.ADD line in config.sys. The NEC 260 drive,
- for example, requires this additional parameter.
-
- BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD /A:x /U:y /ATAPI
-
- where x is the adapter number and y is the unit number.
-
- /A:
-
- Which IDE drive connector on your adapter contains the cable
- that the NEC 260 IDE drive is connected to
-
- IF you have only one IDE controller, this is Adapter 0, /A:0
-
- IF you have TWO IDE controllers, and the IDE CDROM is connected
- the second controller cable, this is Adapter 1, /A:1
-
- The Enhanced IDE specifications allow for FOUR adapters, so
- /A: COULD also be 2 or 3 in your system.
-
- /U:
-
- Each IDE controller can drive up to TWO drives. If the CD drive
- is jumpered as the Master then this is unit 0, /U:0 otherwise it
- is unit 1, /U:1 It is not possible to have a device configuredas
- Slave without a Master on the same controller.
-
- /atapi or /ATAPI
-
- This informs the IBM1S506.ADD driver that this unit (/a: /u:) is an
- ATAPI (IDE attached) CDROM drive...
-
- Editing your config.sys...
-
- locate the BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD line
-
- If you have NO parameters on this line, then ADD the
- parms as defined above, /A:? and /U:?
-
- an example line with the CD as slave on controller 1
- BASEDEV=IBM1S506.add /A:0 /U:1 /ATAPI
-
- IF you ALREADY have parms, and have a /A:? parm already, make sure
- to add JUST the /U:? parm for that adapter.
-
- 5. IF you are using OS/2 2.11 or earlier, you will need to add the
- following config.sys statement.(If you have WARP, choosing 'NON listed
- IDE CDROM will cause this line to be placed in config.sys
- automatically)
-
- BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT
-
- 6. Shut down and restart your system
-
- Installation if OS/2 is NOT already installed on your fixed disk
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- 1. create the CD install disk 1 from the OS/2 CDROM
-
- 2. copy the files supplied here OVER the ones on disk 1.
-
- 3. If you have a NEC 260 IDE CDROM drive, edit the config.sys on disk 1
- and modify the BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD line as described above
- (adding the /A & /U parms)
-
- 3a. If you are using OS/2 2.11 or earlier, add the following statement
- to config.sys and copy the associated file onto disk 1.
-
- BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT
-
- 3b. If you are using OS/2 WARP, add the following statement to the
- config.sys on the DISKETTE 1:
-
- SET COPYFROMFLOPPY=1
-
- 4. Boot the installation disk and disk 1 and proceed thru
- installation phase 1.
-
- 5. (If you are using OS/2 WARP, skip to step 7)
- Because the installation program uses copies of these files
- from a packed file on the installation diskettes, the
- UPDATED drivers you copied in step 2 are overlayed with the
- older ones on your hard disk. You MUST manually fix this.
-
- When you are asked to reboot to continue the installation,
- insert the installation disk and press Ctrl-Alt-Del, then through
- disk 1 to the install panel. Press F3 to get to a command line.
- Go to the installation drive (wherever you installed OS/2).
- You will need to clear the read-only attribute on the IBM1S506.ADD
- file. Do this by typing: (OS/2 2.1 & 2.11)
- /os2/attrib -r \os2\ibm1s506.add
-
- Copy the updated files (OS2CDROM.DMD, IBM1S506.ADD, and
- IBMIDECD.FLT from disk 1 to the proper location on the install
- partition)
-
- 6. type EXIT from the command line
-
- 7. remove the diskette from A: and reboot
-
- 8. Complete the rest of install
