STACKER NOTE STACKER NOTE
CONFIGURING A CD-ROM ON A SYSTEM WITH STACKER
(Applies to Stacker 1.x, 2.x, and 3.0)
STAC FAX 2506 (08/93)
_________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
During system startup, Stacker drives are assigned a drive letter
by DOS as they are "mounted" by the Stacker device driver in
Config.sys. CD-ROM drives are not assigned a drive letter until
MSCDEX.exe loads in the Autoexec.bat file. Because Stacker drive
letters are assigned first, the CD-ROM will have to take the next
available letter. This means that if your CD-ROM existed before
Stacker, you will probably have to reconfigure it to use a new
drive letter.
CONFIGURING THE CD-ROM.
1. CONFIG.SYS - Here is a sample Config.sys. It is
recommended that the CD-ROM device be loaded after SSWAP.COM
as shown.
DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE (this is required if
running under DOS 5.0)
DEVICE=C:\STACKER\STACKER.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK
.....etc.
DEVICE=C:\STACKER\SSWAP.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK /SYNC
DEVICE=SONYCDU.SYS or DEVICE=PCD650S.SYS [/D:name
/B:xxx /M:mode]
2. AUTOEXEC.BAT - The CD-ROM letter is assigned here with
the /L: parameter on the MSCDEX command line. Take note of
the Stacker drive letter assignments at boot time. For
example, to determine which drive letters Stacker has been
given, type:
C:\STACKER\STACKER <ENTER>
The output will look similar to:
STACKER - 2.00, (c) 1990-91, Stac Electronics, Carlsbad,
CA
Drive C: was drive D: at boot time [ D:\STACVOL.DSK ]
Drive D: was drive C: at boot time
Set the CD-ROM to the next available drive letter. In this
example, drive E: is available for the CD-ROM. In
Autoexec.bat you would assign drive E: on the MSCDEX command
line,
MSCDEX /D:name /M:x /V /L:letter /E

Change /L:Letter to /L:E
MSCDEX /D:name /M:x /V /L:E /E
After changing the CD-ROM drive letter, it may be necessary
to re-setup applications or programs to recognize the new
drive letter designation.
