BEFORE USING CD-ROM DRIVE:
==========================
SUBJECT: CDI function
DRIVER: CDMKE.SYS
DATE: 24.03.1994
VERSION: 4.10
This version of CDMKE.SYS will support CDI funtion
but only if your CD-ROM have already firmware
revision 0.76.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
- IBM AT/PC 286 or higher processor
- MS-DOS or PC-DOS operating system version 3.1 or later
- Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions (MSCDEX) version 2.0 or later
- Matsushita CD-ROM drive interface board
or Creative multimedia sound card SOUND BLASTER PRO 2
- Matsushita model CR-52x or CR-562 CD-ROM drive
Max. 4 sets of MKE CD-ROM Drives shall be connectable as
combination of Model #CR-562 or #CR-52x. In this case, however
Model #CR-52x should not be more than 1 set because #CR-52x
is fixed at ID No. 0
INSTALLATION:
Once this has been accomplished, the files CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT need to be modified to complete the installation
of MSCDEX.
[ CONFIG.SYS file ]
===================
The following are examples:
DEVICE=CDMKE.SYS /D:MSCD000 /SBP:220 [switch] (for Soundblaster
Pro 2)
or
DEVICE=CDMKE.SYS /D:MSCD000 [switch]
(for Matsushita I/F board)
switch explanation
-----------------------------------------------------------------
/D:<device Device drive name. This is the name MSCDEX.EXE will
name> use to find the device driver. Every installed
device driver must have a unique name.
/P:<address> I/O base port address of interface board
or
/SBP:<address> At the usage of MKE CD-ROM drive interface board,
/P: Switch is applied and at usage of Creative
S/B Pro 2 interface, /SBP: Switch is applied.
Only either /P: or /SBP: is availiable for
Switch setting.
If /P (or /SBP): <address> is set, the base port
address to be appointed by <address> is only searched.
Thus, the other address cannot be searched. The only
one base port address can be appointed by <address>.
Thus, the setting cannot be made at more than one
base port address.
If /P (and /SBP): switch is omitted, MKE CD-ROM
drive interface board shall become 300H, 310H,
320H, 330H, and 340H.
Ex: at base port 300H, /P:300 or /P: or /P
at base port 220H, /SBP:220 or /SBP: or /SBP
/S:<mode><ID> Speed control mode. (only with CR-562)
For <mode> setting, 3 kinds of modes are availiable
as below:
A: Auto mode speed
N: Normal mode speed
D: Double mode speed
If <ID> is set after <mode> setting, <mode> is
effective only for the Drive appointed with ID No.
If the <ID> setting is omitted, <mode> is effective
for all connected Drives.
If /S:switch is omitted, all connected Drives shall
become Double mode speed.
Ex: For the set of ID 0,1,2,3 = double mode:
/S:D0,D1,D2,D3 or /S:D0,1,2,3 or /S:D or /S: or /S
For the set of ID 0 = normal mode, ID 3 = auto mode
/S:A0,A1,N2,N3 or /S:A0,1,N2,3
/N:<number> Number of drivers:
If the connected Drive is one, by setting of /N:1, the
time of Device Driver installation is ocasionally
shortened in comparision with no setting of /N: switch
(or /N:4).
Number to be set is 4 kinds (1,2,3,4). If setting
number is smaller than the number of connected Drives,
the smaller Drive ID No. is connected and the others
(remaind drives) cannot be connected.
If /N: switch is omitted, it shall become same as
setting 4 as max. number of connectable Drives.
Ex. For number of 4 Drives; /N:4 or /N: or /N
For number of 1 Drive ; /N:1
/X:N This is usable for the application to require the
support of lock/unlock door and eject.
(only availiable with model CR-52x).
If the application requires lock/unlock door or eject
onto the Drive, it shall not treat as error but treat
it as if lock/unlock or eject would be executed.
(Actually no operation)
By this setting, it is operatable even for the
application requiresthe above commands.
Ex. /X:N or /X: or /X
/A: By setting of /A: switch, sound is ocassioally
output form both channels even for the case that the
operating application outputs sound only from either
one channel.
Ex. /A: or /A
LASTDRIVE=X
The last drive in fact only needs to be largest drive
letter that will be used on the system. For example,
a FC with two floppy drives (drives A: and B:), two
hard disk (drives C: and D:), and two CD-ROM drives
(drives E: and F:) would only need LASTDRIVE=F.
A PC that is on a network though will typically
allocate more drive records than are used so that new
network drives can be added after booting.
[ AUTOEXEC.BAT file ]
=====================
The following are examples:
MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000 /M:15 /Y
switch explanation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/D:<device Precedes the device driver name. When combined with
name> the device driver name, this switch tells MSCDEX.EXE
where to find the device driver.
/E Tells MSCDEX.EXE to use expanded memory if your system
is using expanded memory.
(This switch requires LIM 3.2 or later)
/L:<drive Determines what drive letter MSCDEX.EXE uses as first
letter> letter when assigning CD-ROM drive letters. Instead
of starting at the first free drive letter, MSCDEX.EXE
starts at the drive letter specified by this switch.
/M:<value> Tells MSCDEX.EXE how much memory to allocate for
caching information on the CD-ROM. The higher this
value is, the better your performance will be, though
you will have less room on the CD-ROM for other
applications.
/Y Provides memory usage statistics, such as how much
memory is used by buffers, resisdent data, resident
code.
Download Driver Pack
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.
