DOS/WINDOWS Device Driver & MSCDEX File

Installation Overview for IBM-PC & Compatibles Device Driver & MSCDEX File

The INSTALL program adds a line to the CONFIG. SYS File which tells the system to load the device driver that is correct for the SCSI host adapter installed in the computer and it adds or modifies a line in the computer’s AUTOEXEC.BAT file to access MSCDEX (Microsoft CD Extensions).

Device Driver Loaded into CONFIG.SYS

The device driver line in the CONFIG.SYS indicates the Directory and PATH where it is located, as well as the SCSI ID number of the CD-ROM Changer, and it installs the CDP commands. The CONFIG.SYS File should look similar to this:

DEVICE = C:\DEV\DRD600.SYS /D:MSCD000 /N:6 /S:0 /C:CDP

The device driver allows communication to take place between a computer system and a peripheral device. It is loaded when the system is booted. Pioneer supplies the following three device drivers for use with several common SCSI host adapters:

1. DRD600.SYS

This device driver works with the Future Domain SCSI host adapters (TMC and MCS series) and with the Pioneer DD-C5002 SCSI host adapter.

2. DRD60PS.SYS

This device driver works with the IBM SCSI host adapters for PS/2s.

3. DRD60ASP.SYS

This device driver works with any ASPI compatible host adapter that supports multiple LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers). Note: When using an ASPI compatible host adapter, obtain the ASPI Manager file from the host adapter manufacturer or distributor. Install the ASPI Manager before you run the Pioneer Driver Installation Program.

During the QUICK INSTALLATION procedure, indicate the type of SCSI host adapter installed in your computer: ASPI Compatible , DD-C5002, FUTURE DOMAIN, or IBM. (The default is Future Domain). The INSTALL program then loads the proper driver into the CONFIG.SYS file.
