INTRODUCTION
OPTI-CDcache(TM) is a program which can dramatically improve the
performance of your CD-ROM applications by storing recently and/or
frequently used CD-ROM data in an extended memory (XMS) data cache.
OPTI-CDcache uses a small amount of system memory, can be loaded
'high' with a memory manager, is fully compatible with Microsoft
Windows, and can be used transparently with virtually all CD-ROM
applications.
Before you install OPTI-CDcache, configure your PC to successfully
access your CD-ROM drives and CD-ROM applications. The install
program will examine various aspects of your configuration and use
this information to configure OPTI-CDcache. If you are using the
Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions, load MSCDEX.EXE prior to the installation.
This installation program prepares your computer to run OPTI-CDcache.
With this program, you can:
o install OPTI-CDcache on this machine, configuring your system to
cache CD-ROM data
o revise a previous configuration installed with this program
You can run the installation program from the distribution diskette
or copy it to a public network directory and run it from there.
Remember that OPTI-CDcache is licensed for single workstation use.
A separate license must be purchased for each workstation that uses
the OPTI-CDcache software.
You will be asked several questions as the installation progresses.
o Whenever an answer is given, accept that answer by pressing
the Enter key, or change it by typing in your desired answer.
o If a list of options is given, use the Cursor or Tab keys to
highlight your selection and then press the Enter key.
o You may optionally use the mouse for most operations.
o The last step in the installation copies the OPTI-CDcache files
to your system and updates your configuration files. A backup
of all files will be made before modification. Until this
last step, you may cancel at any time by pressing Escape with
no alteration of your system.
%TITLE% " Specifying Destination Path "
The destination path is the drive and directory that will contain
the OPTI-CDcache files. If you have a hard disk, the default path
that the OPTI-CDcache files will be copied to is C:\CDCACHE. If this
machine uses diskettes only, the default path is A:\CDCACHE.
Press the Enter key to use the default or type your path selection.
Path:
%TITLE% " Specifying the Boot Drive "
The boot drive contains your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. If
you continue this installation, these files may be modified. Backup
files will be created before modification, and will have a .BK?
extension where ? is a single digit from 1 to 9.
If you have a hard disk, the default boot drive where your CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT files reside is drive C. If this machine uses only
diskettes, the default drive is A.
Press the Enter key to use the default or type your drive selection.
Drive:
%TITLE% " Choosing Automatic Startup "
A batch file, CACHE.BAT, will be created in the destination
directory specified at the beginning of the installation. It
contains the commands to load the OPTI-CDcache executable and the
Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions (if applicable). This batch file may
be executed automatically at power-up or later from the MS-DOS
command line.
Executing CACHE.BAT at power-up requires less user intervention
and is recommended for most installations. Deferred execution from
the command line is helpful when additional startup control is
required.
Would you like to start OPTI-CDcache automatically at power-up?
%TITLE% " Specifying Extended Memory (XMS) Usage "
OPTI-CDcache has detected that your machine is equipped with Extended
Memory (XMS) and an Extended Memory Manager (e.g. HIMEM.SYS). You
may use all or part of the available XMS memory for CD-ROM data
caching.
OPTI-CDcache can choose the amount of XMS memory to use for data
caching based on the amount of XMS memory that is available, or,
you can choose the amount yourself. OPTI-CDcache will choose
approximately half of the available XMS memory for caching, up to
a maximum of 2 megabytes.
Do you wish to specify the amount of XMS for local CD data caching?
%TITLE% " Specifying XMS Cache Size "
You have chosen to specify the amount of XMS memory to be used by
OPTI-CDcache for local CD data caching. The amount of usable XMS in
kilobytes (1024 bytes) has been entered as the default value.
Experience has shown that applications may benefit from as small
as 256 kilobytes of data cache. Using larger amounts of cache
memory may improve application performance. Use the cache statistics
feature to determine the effectiveness of your choice of cache size.
More than 2 MB of XMS is recommended for multi-media applications.
Either type a smaller value and press Enter, or accept the default.
XMS Cache Size:
%TITLE% " Entering Device Name(s) "
Please enter the device name(s) used either when you type the
MSCDEX line to load the extensions or by your non-MSCDEX device
driver (look at the /D: parameter in your CONFIG.SYS). For
example, type "/D:MSCD0001" to allow caching for the device
represented by this name. The CONFIG.SYS file will be examined
to verify that this device name is supported by a device driver.
OPTI-CDcache may be configured for use in conjunction with one or
more of these drivers to access attached CD-ROM drives. You can add
device name(s), one at a time by typing the name. When you have
finished, leave the field blank and press the <Enter> key.
Device Name :
%TITLE% " Quick Startup (press Enter to proceed) "
You may need to reboot your PC before using OPTI-CDcache. If
so, you will be asked whether you wish to automatically reboot
or if you prefer to defer rebooting until later.
Please read the READ.ME file in your destination directory for
helpful hints on further improving the performance of CD-ROM
access.
If you chose to automatically startup OPTI-CDcache, you should be
ready to cache CD data after your system boots. Type "CDCACHE /s"
at the DOS command prompt at any time to obtain a summary of the
activities of the OPTI-CDcache software.
If you did not choose to automatically startup OPTI-CDcache, execute
CACHE.BAT from the destination directory of the installation.
This batch file contains the commands to load the OPTI-CDcache CD-ROM
caching software. Alternately, append "CACHE.BAT" to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT to automatically start the OPTI-CDcache software after
the system is booted.
Type "CDCACHE /u" to unload the the OPTI-CDcache software. Type
"CDCACHE /?" for a complete summary of the command line options.
Press <Enter> to exit the installation program.
%TITLE% " Choosing to Reboot "
OPTI-CDcache has been succesfully installed on your system.
Your boot files have been modified to support your configuration
selections. Backup files of the CONFIG.sys and AUTOEXEC.bat now
reside in the destination directory resulting with a .BK1 through
.BK9 extension respective of the number of times the install program
was run successfully. You may choose to reboot your system now.
Alternately, you may wish to examine your boot files prior to
rebooting to verify the changes to your configuration.

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.
