Changing

device

driver

parameters

for

DOS

and

Windows

Most

computers

will

function

adequately

with

the

default

settings

for

the IBMIDECD.SYS device driver file. However,

there

are

some

parameters

that

can

be

changed

if

necessary.

This

section

explains

the

function

of

each

parameter.

Use

a

text

editor to

modify

the

appropriate

line

in

your

CONFIG.SYS

file.

For

the

IBMIDECD.SYS

device

driver file, the line in CONFIG.SYS is in the following format:

DEVICE=[drive:][path]IBMIDECD.SYS /D:device name

[/P:xxx,yy] [/A:n] [/U:n]

[/L:xx] [/T:n] [/I:n]

(Do

not

truncate

the

actual

device

driver

entry.

Place

the

complete

DEVICE=

on one line in the CONFIG.SYS file.)

[drive:][path]IBMIDECD.SYS

The

above

parameter

specifies

the

location

(drive

and

directory)

and

name

of

the device

driver

file.

Use the following options to configure the device driver.

/D:device	name
This	parameter		specifies		the	device name	of	the CD-ROM
drive.		This	name	must	be	identical to the device name
specified		in	the	MSCDEX.EXE		parameters,	as	shown:

DEVICE=C:\IBMIDECD.SYS /D:IBMCD1

/P:xxx,yy

This parameter specifies the address and interrupt level of the port to which the IDE CD-ROM drive is connected.
