Installing the NEW Creative Labs CD-ROM Driver in OS/2 2.1
SBCD2.ADD Version 1.23
=============================================================================
You should replace any earlier version with this new driver.
INSTALLING SBCD2.ADD to an existing OS/2 system
1. Check that you have the following lines in your CONFIG.SYS. If these
lines are missing, add them to your CONFIG.SYS and make sure that they
are located in your OS/2 directory. If these files are not in your OS/2
directory then you must follow the Selective Install procedure detailed
in your OS/2 manual, you must check the CD-ROM Drive box and select OTHER
for the type of CD-ROM Drive attached to your system.
BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:xxx (Where 'xxx' is the I/O Address of the SB card)
IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS
*NOTE: A. These lines should be kept together in the CONFIG.SYS and they
MUST be in the order shown above!
B. Make sure that you do NOT have any duplicates of these lines in
your CONFIG.SYS or you will get an error every time OS/2 starts.
2. Copy the SBCD2.ADD file to the C:\OS2 directory. In some cases this file
may need to be located in the root directory of the C: drive. If you have
SBCD2.ADD in the OS/2 directory and OS/2 still will not recognize your
CD-ROM Drive then copy the file to the root directory. This should solve
the problem.
INSTALLING OS/2 2.1 (Final release) From CD-ROM using SBCD2.ADD
1. Make backup copies of the two disks that come with the OS/2 2.1 CD-ROM.
Store the original disks in a safe place in case they are needed in the future.
2. Copy the SBCD2.ADD file to the new disk labeled "Diskette 1".
3. Next, add the following line to the file CONFIG.SYS found on the new disk
labeled "Diskette 1". This line should come right before the line
"IFS=CDFS.IFS /Q".
BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:xxx (Where 'xxx' is the I/O Address of the SB card)
4. Reboot the system with the new disk labeled "Installation Diskette" and
follow the installation process accordingly.
5. After the installation is completed and your system has rebooted, you must
copy the files CDFS.IFS and OS2CDROM.DMD from the OS/2 installation disk
labeled "Diskette 1" into the OS2 directory on your hard drive, then add
the following two lines to your CONFIG.SYS file that is located on the C:
drive. So that you will be able to access the CD-ROM drive after the
installation process has completed.
IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD
6. Remember to reboot the system.
