DRM-1804X Installing on Windows95

Microsoft's Windows 95 does not have direct support for Pioneer's DRM-1804X. To access the DRM1804X in the Windows 95 operating system, follow the instructions below:

1.) Add device driver to the CONFIG.SYS file: <ASPI Manager> C:\PIONEER\DRD18ASP.SYS /D:MSCD000

Note: <ASPI Manager> is dependent on the user's SCSI controller.

Reference your SCSI controller manufacturer.

Example: Adaptec 1542CF SCSI controller:

C:\ADAPTEC\ASP4DOS.SYS

C:\PIONEER\DRD18ASP.SYS /D:MSCD000

Note: Future Domain SCSI controller will not need an ASPI manager

Example: Future Domain SCSI controller

C:\PIONEER\DRD18FD.SYS /D:MSCD000

2.) Add latest MSCDEX to AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

Example:

C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000

3.) Add "DRD18ASP.SYS" to the IOS.INI file. a.) goto Windows directory

b.) copy IOS.INI file to IOS.ORG c.) Edit IOS.INI file

d.) locate the section named "[CDunsafe]" near the bottom of the file. e.) add "DRD18ASP.SYS" name under the "[CDunsafe]" section

i.e. [SafeList]

...

predir.exe ; Printer redirect

[CDunsafe]

drd18asp.sys ; Pioneer 1804x

f.) exit IOS.INI and reboot the computer system
