High-Speed CD-ROM Drive README File
This README file contains the newest information that is not shown in the
User's Manual. Please read the following comments carefully before starting
installation:
1. Release Note:
A. There are two kinds of installation types: Easy Install and
Custom Install.
B. Easy Install relies on installation program to make decision, so
installing Device Driver is quick and easy.
C. Custom Install is for computer users who want to have more control
over how Device Driver is installed.
D. DMA and Ultra DMA Bus Master transfer mode is supported by appending
a software option /DMA to command line of device driver in CONFIG.SYS,
ex., DEVICE = C:\HXCD-ROM\CDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001 /DMA
E. PIO mode 4 and DMA mode 2 can only work on PC or PC-compatibles with
Intel Triton and SIS 5120, 5598 chipsets employed.
It may not work in other PC systems.
F. Ultra DMA mode 2 for Intel 430TX, 440LX and SIS 5120, 5598 chipsets
is supported now.
G. The command line "LASTDRIVE=" will be added into CONFIG.SYS
automatically after installation.
2. Troubleshooting:
(I) SMARTDRV.EXE(or SMARTDRV.SYS) should be hooked before MSCDEX.EXE
for proper caching.
(II) If there are two CD-ROM drives in your PC, only one Device Driver
(CDROM.SYS or others) and MSCDEX.EXE is necessary.
(III) Ask your local dealers for help.
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.
