		  =========================================

	This CD-ROM reader is designed to meet the plug & play
	specifications of WIN95/98. If using the CD-ROM reader in
	this environment, no driver installation is necessary.
	If using Windows NT or IBM OS/2 Warp, the operating
	system automatically loads the CD-ROM driver.
	
	Note: Drivers mentioned above are part of the Operating
	Systems and not available from NEC.      


	To install your CD-ROM drive for use with MS-DOS, you need:

      * An IBM personal computer or compatible with 80386 or later
	processor chip and a minimum of 640K of conventional memory.
      * A CD-ROM drive.
      * CD-ROM installation disk.
      * MS-DOS Version 3.1 or later.
      * Microsoft MS-DOS CD-ROM Extensions(MSCDEX.EXE) (included).

      Note: Microsoft MS-DOS CD-ROM Extensions(MSCDEX.EXE) enables the
	    computer to access the CD-ROM drive.   


		----------------------------------------------
		|     CD-ROM DEVICE DRIVER INSTALLATION      |
		----------------------------------------------

      Certain software programs  must be loaded in order to access a CD-
      ROM disc  in your CD-ROM drive  as  if it were an MS-DOS formatted
      disk. The CD-ROM software files must be properly installed in your
      computer before the CD-ROM drive can read a CD-ROM disc.

      The procedure for installation is as follow:

      1. Insert the supplied installation disk into drive A.

      2. Type A: and press ENTER to select drive A.

      3. At the DOS prompt A:\, type INSTALL and press ENTER.
	 (Run the program INSTALL.BAT on the disk.)

      4. The INSTALL.BAT create a \CDROM directory and copy necessary
	 files to that directory and update your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT.
	 
      5. Reboot your system when it completes successfully.

		       --------------------------------
		       |   DEVICE DRIVER PARAMETERS   |
		       --------------------------------

      The NECATAPI.SYS file is the device driver. The CONFIG.SYS file 
      specifies this file, thereby allowing your computer to identify
      and operate the CD-ROM drive. 

      Most computers will function adequately  with most of the  default
      settings for this file.   However,  there are some parameters that
      can be changed, if necessary.  This section explains  the function
      of each parameter. Use a text editor, such as MS-DOS "EDLIN",  or
      "EDIT" to modify the appropriate line in your CONFIG.SYS file.

      For the NECATAPI.SYS device driver,  the line in CONFIG.SYS is  in
      the following format.

	      DEVICE=[drive:][path]NECATAPI.SYS
	      /D:device-name [PIO=n]

      Note: The actual device driver entry is not  truncated  and should
	    be placed entirely on one line in the CONFIG.SYS file.

      [drive:][path]NECATAPI.SYS
	  Specifies  the location (drive and directory) and  name of the
	  device driver file.

      /D:device-name
	  Specifies  the device name  of  the CD-ROM drive (8 characters
	  maximum).  This must be identical to the device name specified
	  in the MSCDEX.EXE parameters. For example:

	      DEVICE=C:\CDROM\NECATAPI.SYS /D:NECCD

      [PIO=n]
	  To enable PIO transfer mode, add the switch 'PIO=n'

	  n:    PIO Mode (1, 2, 3 or 4)
	  
	  The default transfer mode is DMA.

	  For example if the dirve should work in PIO mode 4 - not in DMA  
	  mode - the syntax in the CONFIG.SYS file could be as follows:

	      DEVICE=C:\CDROM\NECATAPI.SYS /D:NECCD PIO=4
	      

	  Note: The actual  device driver  entry  is  not truncated  and
		should be placed entirely  on one line in the CONFIG.SYS
		file.

	  Note: For information regarding setting CD ROM drive as Master
		or Slave, please refer to your user's manual.

		-------------------------------------------
		|          REGARDING SMARTDRV             |
		-------------------------------------------

      SMARTDRV attached to MS-DOS 6.2 (PC-DOS 6.3) or later  is supposed
      to CD-ROM caching.  If CD-ROM caching is enabled,  it is  possible
      that CD-ROM does not work properly.(such as Photo CD)
      In this case,  you should add  the following  /U switch to disable
      CD-ROM caching.

	      SMARTDRV.EXE /U

		-------------------------------------------
		|          REGARDING WINDOWS 3.xx         |
		-------------------------------------------

	Windows 3.xx are using same device driver as DOS, no additional driver
	needed. 

	Note: For Windows 3.xx don't use the 32 bit hard disk access,because    
	this mode is not supported for CD-ROM readers.

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
