****************************************************************************
* SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS *
****************************************************************************
Hardware:
1. The system must contain a supported processer and PIIX device as specified
by the NOTE at the beginning of this document.
2. Ensure that a mouse is connected to the system.
3. Do not use any other add-in IDE (PCI or ISA) card in the system during
installation.
Operating System:
1. IBM OS/2 2.x or Warp* 3.x must be installed on the system prior to
installing the driver.
2. Perform installation off of the on-board primary PIIX IDE interface.
BIOS:
The BIOS must properly initialize the PIIX IDE interface for bus master
operation.
****************************************************************************
* INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE *
****************************************************************************
The following procedures for the installation of the PIIX Bus Master IDE
Drivers for OS/2 (PIIXIDE.ADD and PIIXIDE.FLT) are specific only to the
version of the drivers currently contained within this package.
The following procedures assume that the OS/2 operating system was installed
properly on the target system, and that the standard PIIX IDE driver,
IBM1S506.ADD, and ATAPI CD-ROM filter driver, IBMIDECD.FLT, were used.
If IBM1S506.ADD or IBMIDECD.FLT were not used, the drivers which replaced them
should be un-installed before installing PIIXIDE.ADD and PIIXIDE.FLT.
Furthermore, if IBM1S506.ADD and IBMIDECD.FLT were not originally installed
on the target system, they should be installed first, and the system re-tested
with them, before installing PIIXIDE.ADD and PIIXIDE.FLT.
By default, bus mastering is disabled on ATAPI CD-ROM devices. For DMA capable
CD-ROM devices, it should be enabled using command line parameters on the
PIIXIDE.ADD line in CONFIG.SYS. For example, if the CD-ROM device is
connected as slave on the secondary IDE cable, bus mastering can be enabled
by installing PIIXIDE.ADD as follows:
BASEDEV=PIIXIDE.ADD /A:1 /U:1 /BM
Note: For special conditions that may apply to your system, please review the
RELEASE NOTES section, before installing the PIIX Bus Master IDE Drivers
for OS/2.
Automatic Install Procedure:
****************************
1. Run the install utility (INSTALL.EXE). INSTALL.EXE copies PIIXIDE.ADD
and PIIXIDE.FLT from the source directory to the target directory,
and changes the CONFIG.SYS file to install them.
Command line format: install [options]
Command line options:
/s:<source path> Specifies the path to the directory containing
PIIXIDE.ADD. The default source is the directory
containing INSTALL.EXE.
/t:<target path> Specifies the path to the directory where
INSTALL.EXE will copy PIIXIDE.ADD. The default
target is the \OS2 directory on the boot drive.
/tu:<boot path> Specifies the path to the directory containing
the CONFIG.SYS file. The default directory is
the root of the boot drive.
/l:<logfile> Specifies an optional log file. If this option
is used, the output will be redirected to the
specified file, and INSTALL.EXE will run
unattended.
/p:<option> Specifies a command line parameter for PIIXIDE.ADD.
The command line parameters will be inserted in the
PIIXIDE.ADD command line in the same order as the
corresponding /p:<option> parameters on the INSTALL
command line.
/fp:<option> Specifies a command line parameter for PIIXIDE.FLT.
The only command line parameter parameter supported
by the ATAPI CD-ROM filter driver is /v (verbose).
All command line parameters are optional. The install utility will not
install the PIIX Bus Master IDE drivers if it cannot detect one of the
supported Intel PCIsets.
2. Shutdown and reboot the system.
Manual Install Procedure:
*************************
1. Copy PIIXIDE.ADD and PIIXIDE.FLT to the \OS2 directory on the boot drive.
2. Make the following changes to the CONFIG.SYS file:
Replace:
BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD
with:
BASEDEV=PIIXIDE.ADD
Replace:
BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.ADD
with:
BASEDEV=PIIXIDE.FLT
3. Shutdown and reboot the system.
Note: PIIXIDE.ADD auto-detects DMA capable hard disk drives and configures
them and the Intel PCIset for bus master DMA transfers.
****************************************************************************
* PIIXIDE.ADD COMMAND LINE SWITCHES *
****************************************************************************
1. Adapter Switch: /A:x where x is 0, 1, 2, or 3.
This selects the adapter that will be referenced by subsequent
switches.
2. Unit Switch: /U:x where x is 0, 1, 2, or 3.
This selects the unit that will be referenced by subsequent switches.
3. Bus Master Disable Switch: /!BM
This will disable the bus master DMA feature. This capability is fully
auto-detected by the driver. If for any reason it is desirable to
disable bus master DMA transfers, this switch can be used on a per
adapter or per unit basis. If used after a /A:x switch but prior to
