This README.TXT describes how to use the device driver .
1.Files
This diskette contains following programs and files.
SJCDAPI.SYS : Device driver for SANYO CRD-254P .
This program is a low level device driver
for the interface card.
README.TXT : This text file.
2.The parameters of device drivers
Here you a list of the value of all parameters for entering the device
driver in the file CONFIG.SYS. These parameters should only be used by
those of you who already have good experience with computers. Wrong entries
can cause malfunctions and even damage!
The general form of the control line for entering the device driver in the
file CONFIG.SYS is:
DEVICE = [Path]Device_driver_name /D:Device_name [/B:Base address]
Note : The entries in square brakets are not always necessary.
The parameters have the following significance:
/D:<Device name>
Gives the type name of the used CD-ROM drive. At the CD-ROM drive
usually the type name MSCD000 is used as device name, unless your
application program for the reading of the CD-data explicitly requires
another device name during the installation.
The name must be identical with the device names given in the file
AUTOEXEC.BAT behind MSCDEX.EXE.
/P:<P|S>
Gives the port address for CD-ROM interface.
If P is set, port address will be set at Primary address(1F0H).
If S is set, port address will be set at Secondary address(170H).
Default is Primary.
/S:<M|S>
Gives Master or Slave for CD-ROM Drive .
/T
Support 2 Drives (Same CMD_DRQ_Type) .
Example:
DEVICE = C:\CDROM\SJCDAPI.SYS /D:MSCD000 /P:P /S:S
where: /D:MSCD000 Identifies the drive name as MSCD000.
/P:P Port is Primary.
/S:S Slave.
3.The parameters of MSCDEX.EXE
Here you a list of the value of all parameters for entering the device
driver in the file AUTOEXEC.BAT. These parameters should only be used by
those of you who already have good experience with computers. Wrong entries
can cause malfunctions and even damage!
The general form of the control line for entering the device driver in the
file AUTOEXEC.BAT is:
[Path]MSCDEX /D:Device_name [/E /L:drive_letter /K /S /M:value /V]
Note : The entries in square brakets are not always necessary.
The parameters have following significance:
/D:Device name
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 LIM3.2 or greater)
/L:(drive letter)
MSCDEX.EXE starts at the drive letter specified by this switch.
/K
Tells MSCDEX.EXE to use any Kanji (Japanese) file structures,if present,
rather than the default of standard alphanumeric file structures.
/S
Instructs MSCDEX.EXE to patch DOS to allow sharing of CD-ROM drives
on MS-NET based network servers.
/M:(value)
Tells MSCDEX.EXE how much memory to allocate for caching information
on the CD-ROM.
/V
Provides memory usage statistics, such as how much memory is used
by buffers, resident data, resident code.
Example:
MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000 /M:4 /L:E
where: /D:MSCD000 identifies the drive name as MSCD000.
/M:4 Memory caching is set for 8 kilobytes.
/L:E the CD-ROM drive letter is E.
When these modifications are completed, it will be necessary to reboot
your system (by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del). This will reconfigure your system
based on the modified AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
4. If you use under WINDOWS, modify the SYSTEM.INI file as follows.
In [386Enh] section
32bitdiskaccess=off (default:off)

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.
