The | device | driver | automatically | checks | the | industry | standard | |||||||||||
primary | IDE | port | (address | 1F0, | interrupt | 14) | and | secondary IDE | ||||||||||

needed |
| if |
| your |
| connected | to | either | of | these | ||||||||
ports. | However, | if |
| your | computer | (or IDE | adapter) | uses | ||||||||||
different |
| IDE | port | addresses | or |

option. | Refer | to | the | instructions | that | come | with | your | computer | |||||||||

your | computer | or | adapter. |

/T:n
When four drives are connected, for example, the syntax in the CONFIG.SYS file would be:
DEVICE=C:IBMIDECD.SYS /D:IBMCD1 | /P:1F ,14 | ||||||||||||||
|
| /P:17 ,15 /P:1E ,12 /P:16 ,1 |
|

(Do | not | truncate | the | actual | device | driver | entry. | Place | the | ||||||
complete | DEVICE= | on | one | line | in |
| the | CONFIG.SYS | file.) |

This | parameter | specifies | the | audio | play | mode. | For | a | stereo | CD, | |||||
you | can | type | /A:0 | or | /A:1. | For | a | monaural | CD | (left | or right | ||||
channel |
| only), | type | /A:1 | in | order | to | play | the | monaural | audio | ||||
signal |
| from | the | right | and | left |
| channels. | The | default | is n =0. |
This |
| parameter | specifies | time delays | to | be | built | into | the | IDE | ||||||
read | loop. | Use |
| this | parameter | only | in | computers | that | do | not | |||||
support | the | IOCHRDY | signal | on | the | IDE | bus, | and | in | computers | ||||||
that |
| read | from |
| the | IDE port | faster than the | can |

computers. |

n | is | a | relative | timing | parameter | that | depends | on | processor | |||||||
speed. | When | the | value | of | n | increases, | the |
| drive | |||||||
rate |
| decreases. | Valid |
| values | for | n | are | 0 | through | 99. The | |||||
default | for | n |
| is | 0, | and | the | /T | parameter | is | not | required. |
