----------------------------- REXCD.SYS parameter ------------------------------

REXCD.SYS is a CD-ROM driver based on ASPI manager for DOS.

Format: DEVICE = <directory path>: \ REXCD.SYS [/D:<Device name>][/U:1] [/ScanID:id + id + …… ] [/NoScanID: id + id + ……][/N:1][/E][/HA:0]

Parameter

[/D:<Device name>] Set your CD-ROM device name.Use the same name written after /D: at

 

MSCDEX.EXE in Autoexec.bat file.

[/U:1]

If you connect only one SCSI CD-ROM drive, be sure to set /U:1.

If you don’t set anything to this parameter, all SCSI CD-ROM drives will be registered after searching SCSI ID from 0 to 6.

[/ScanID:id + id + …… ] If you don’t set anything to this parameter, REXCD.SYS search SCSI ID

from 0 to 6 to find the SCSI CD-ROM connected to the CB31U.

But, if you set this parameter like /ScanID:0+1,REXCD.SYS skip searching SCSI ID from 2 to 6.

[/NoScanID: id + id + ……] If you set this parameter like /NoScanID:5+6, REXCD.SYS skips searching

 

SCSI ID 5 and 6.

[/N:1]

If you set this parameter, REXCD.SYS will not search Logical Unit for SCSI

 

CD-ROM drives. REXCD.SYS finds logical drive number of CD-ROM drive,

 

searching Logical Unit No from 0 to 7. But there are some old types of CD-ROM

 

drives having trouble when REXCD.SYS accesses to the CD-ROM drives at the

 

Logical Unit No except 0. In this case, set this parameter /N:1. Don’t set this

 

parameter when you use drives which need to be set for Logical Unit like

 

CD-Changers.

[/E]

Be sure to set this parameter /E

[/HA:0]

Set Host Adapter number.If you don’t set anything to this parameter, 0 is set.

[/NoPreFetch]

If you set this parameter, Prefetch command does not issued to SCSI drives.

 

If you use CD-R drives named CD-R824SK, CD-R56S made by TEAC, be sure

 

to set this parameter.
