DOS with Windows 3.x, Windows

95

and

Windows

98

Requirements

vary,

and

you

might

need

to

customize

the

configuration

that

the

CDSETUP program

installs

on

your

computer.

This

section provides

information

and

describes

the

parameters

that

you

might

need

to

change

or

add.

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

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

[/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:devicename

Specifies

the

device

name

of

the

CD-ROM

drive. This must be identical to the

device

name

specified

in

the

MSCDEX.EXE

parameters,

for

example:

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

/P:xxx,yy

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

The device	driver	automatically	checks	the industry	standard primary	IDE	port
(address	1F0,	interrupt 14)	and	secondary IDE	port (address	170,	interrupt 15).
