1. OS/2 CD-ROM DRIVER FOR SOUND BLASTER

   An OS/2 compatible CD-ROM device driver is included on this disk.
   The following steps provide instructions on how to install the
   driver with OS/2 versions 2.0 and 2.1.

   The driver SBCD2.ADD is used with OS/2 systems which support
   layered CD-ROM device management structure.  This structure is
   supported in OS/2 2.1.  Users of OS/2 2.0 can use the OS2CDR
   package which contains the OS2CDROM.DMD file for OS/2 2.0. The
   OS2CDR.ZIP file is available on Compuserve, forum IBMOS2.


   INSTALLATION OF CD-ROM DRIVER IF OS/2 2.x IS ALREADY INSTALLED
   --------------------------------------------------------------

   OS/2 2.0 users--refer to the document provided in the OS2CDR
   package first.

   1. If you have previously installed OS/2, check whether you have
      the following line in your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS.  If you do, remove
      it (or REM it out) from your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file.

           DEVICE=C:\OS2\CDROM.SYS /Q /N:4

   2. The following lines must be in your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file for
      the CD-ROM to work.  The "IFS=..." line may already be in your
      OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file.  If it is, group it with the lines below;
      otherwise, add it.  WARNING: Place these lines near the bottom
      of your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file--there may be problems if you place
      them near the top!
           
           REM ---- NEXT 4 LINES ARE FOR OS/2 CD-ROM SUPPORT -----
           BASEDEV=OS2CDROM.DMD          (DO NOT SPECIFY A PATH !)
           BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220      (DO NOT SPECIFY A PATH !)
           IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
           DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS

      NOTE: The /P:220 specifies the I/O base address used for the
            Sound Blaster Pro or Sound Blaster 16 card.  Change this
            value accordingly if your setting is different.

   3. Copy the OS2CDROM.DMD file (on OS/2 2.1 "Diskette 1") to C:\OS2.

   4. Copy the SBCD2.ADD file from this disk to the C:\OS2 directory.

   5. Reboot the system.


   INSTALLATION OF OS/2 2.1 AND CD-ROM DRIVER
   ------------------------------------------

   1. Make duplicate copies of the IBM OS/2 2.1 diskettes--
      "Installation Diskette" and "Diskette 1"--that come with OS/2
      2.1. Only make changes to the duplicate diskettes.  Keep the
      original diskettes in their original condition!

   2. Copy the SBCD2.ADD file from this disk onto the duplicate OS/2
      2.1 "Diskette 1".

   3. Add in the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file on the
      duplicate "Diskette 1".

           BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220

      NOTE: The /P:220 specifies the I/O base address used for the
            Sound Blaster Pro or Sound Blaster 16 card.  Change this
            value accordingly if your setting is different.

   4. Reboot the system with the disk "Installation Diskette" and
      follow the installation instructions.

   5. After the installation is completed, edit your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS
      file in your hard disk (eg. c:) to include the following lines.
      Make sure they appear near the end of the file.  You will have
      to manually add the following:

           BASEDEV=OS2CDROM.DMD          (DO NOT SPECIFY A PATH !)
           BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220      (DO NOT SPECIFY A PATH !)
           IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
           DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS

      NOTE: The /P:220 specifies the I/O base address used for the
            Sound Blaster Pro or Sound Blaster 16 card. Change this
            value accordingly if your setting is different.

   6. Reboot the system.

   
   DESCRIPTION OF SBCD2.ADD SWITCHES
   ---------------------------------

   /P:xxx

   This switch specifies the port address (in hex) of Sound Blaster
   card used.  Default setting for xxx is 220.

   Example:

              BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220


   The following switches are optional:

   /D:a or /D:x [,y] [,z] [,w]

   This switch applies only to CR-563 drives.  It specifies the
   drives to be run at double transfer speed (300KB/s). The option
   /D:a specifies 'all' daisy-chained drives. You can specify
   individual drives using the ID number of the drive(s) you want
   to run at double speed.

   Example 1:

              BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /D:a

   Example 2:

              BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /D:1,3


   /N:a or /N:x [,y] [,z] [,w]

   This switch applies only to CR-563 drives. It specifies the drives
   to be run at normal transfer speed (150KB/s). The option /N:a
   specifies 'all' daisy-chained drives. You can specify individual
   drives using the ID number of drive(s) that you want to run at
   normal speed.

   Example 1:

              BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /N:a

   Example 2:

              BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /N:0,2


   NOTE : The default is double transfer speed whenever it is
          possible. If the same drive has been set more than once,
          only the last setting will take effect.


   /T:1 or /T:2

   This switch specifies the type of card being used; 1 for standard
   sound card and 2 for CD-ROM interface card.
