   Aztech IDE CD-ROM Drive Installation
   ====================================

   If you are connecting the CD-ROM drive to your primary IDE interface,
   include the following statement in the Windows file SYSTEM.INI under
   the [Enh386] section:

        32BitDiskAccess=Off


   Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions (MSCDEX.EXE)
   ========================================

   The above file is needed for operation of CD-ROM drives under the DOS
   environment. This file is only bundled with DOS version 6.x. Therefore, 
   if you are using DOS version 5, please contact your local Microsoft's
   dealers for a copy of MSCDEX.EXE (for DOS version 5 usage).


   
   Using Digital (.WAV) Audio with DOS 6.x's DoubleSpace*
   ======================================================

   The DoubleSpace utility included with DOS 6.x can cause problems
   if you attempt to play or record "high data rate" (i.e.: stereo/
   44.1kHz/16-bit) digital audio to or from a compressed disk.

   Therefore, if you anticipate that you will be playing or recording
   a lot of stereo/44.1kHz/16-bit digital audio, you should set up a
   non-compressed drive partition and configure the audio application
   to use this drive as their Work and Temp directories. 

   For information on setting up a non-compressed partition for your
   hard drive, refer to your DOS 6.x Users Guide. 

   *The same procedure should be followed if you are using Stacker, a
   third-party disk compression utility.


   Notes About Using EMM386.EXE
   ============================

   When running applications with EMM386.EXE installed, the following
   error message may appear:

      "EMM386 DMA buffer is too small"

   You can overcome this problem in two ways:

      - remove the EMM386.EXE entry from the CONFIG.SYS file

      OR

      - add the following parameter to the EMM386.EXE entry in the
        CONFIG.SYS file:

           D=64

           where D specifies how many kilobytes of memory should be
           reserved for buffered Direct Memory Access (DMA).

        An example of this may be:

           C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE D=64
