for DOS/Windows 3.1, 3.11
============================================================================
Thank you for purchasing the Panasonic 8X PCMCIA CD-ROM Player KXL-783A.
This README file contains the following information when installing the
CD-ROM player in DOS/Windows 3.1, 3.11.
1. ASPI Manager
2. CD-ROM Device Driver
3. Microsoft MS-DOS CD-ROM Extensions (MSCDEX.EXE)
4. Sample of CONFIG.SYS Files
5. Supplement
6. Troubleshooting Guide
1. ASPI Manager
The following table lists the ASPI(Advanced SCSI Programming Interface)
managers available for the supplied Interface Card under DOS/Windows 3.1,
3.11.
(1) ASPIOMGR.SYS
For computers bundled with Card Service and Socket Service.
(2) ASPIO365.SYS
For computers with no Card Service or Socket Service. This driver
directly controls the PCMCIA controller chip(Intel 82365 100%
compatible LSI).
1-1. Command Line Options
DEVICE = <path>\ASPIOMGR.SYS [/PORT=<I/O base address>]
[/SOCKET=<slot No.>] [/INT=<IRQ level>] [/BOFF]
DEVICE = <path>\ASPIO365.SYS [/PORT=<I/O base address>]
[/SOCKET=<slot No.>] [/MEM=<base address>] [/I365RST]
/PORT=XXX
Since the I/O port is needed for the Interface Card, add this line
and specify the base address at XXX using a hexadecimal number.
The Interface Card occupies 16 bytes of space starting with the
specified base address. If you don't specify the I/O base address,
240h is applied. If the specified address is already being used,
specify another base address from the following addresses. Also,
depending on the computer, the I/O port may need to be specified
in the Card Manager(ASPIOMGR.SYS). Refer to your computer manual.
140 180 220 230 240 250 260 270 280 290 300 320
/SOCKET=X
When you are using a personal computer with more than two PC
card slots, add this line and specify the slot at X meaning the
slot you will insert the Interface Card in. If you specify 0
or you don't specify the slot, the installation program searches
all slots, and uses the first slot available.
Option effective with ASPIOMGR.SYS only
/INT=X
This option sets the IRQ level of the Interface Card using a
hexadecimal number. The valid numbers are 3, 5, 7, 9, A, B and F.
The ASPIOMGR.SYS itself does not need interruption request,
although some kinds of Card Services need this option to assign
the IRQ level used in the Card Configuration process.
Make sure this number does not conflict with another device.
The IRQ level is not set without this option.
/BOFF
Setting this option turns off the beep sound that is generated
when inserting or removing the Interface Card.
Option effective with ASPIO365.SYS only
/MEM=XXXX
Add this line and specify the memory space's base address to read
the card information by the segment address (hexadecimal number).
You need to exclude this specified address in the EMS "X"
option so that it will not overlap the region of EMS. If you
don't specify the base address, CE00 is applied, and 8 KB of
memory from CE000h to CFFFFh is used.
/I365RST
After setting this option, the PCMCIA controller chip(Intel 82365)
should reset when starting the computer.

Insufficient drive letter (such as N:) is assigned to the CD-ROM
player.
Solution:
When a drive letter other than A-M is assigned to the CD-ROM
player, the display shows the above message.
In this case, follow the instructions below.
1. Edit the CONFIG.SYS to LASTDRIVE=R, for example.
(refer to your DOS manual for instructions on how to edit).
2. Restart your computer.
4. Sample of CONFIG.SYS Files
This section gives instructions about correct placement of the device
drivers (Card Manager, ASPI Manager, CD-ROM Device Driver) into your
CONFIG.SYS file.
Each driver must be in the CONFIG.SYS file in the following order.
*********************************************************************
* (1) Expanded Memory Manager (EMM386.EXE) *
* (2) Card Manager (Card Service, Socket Service) *
* (3) ASPI Manager (ASPIOMGR.SYS / ASPIO365.SYS) *
* (4) CD-ROM Device Driver (KMECD.SYS) *
* (5) LASTDRIVE *
*********************************************************************
(1) Expanded Memory Manager (EMM386.EXE)
It is necessary to set up the memory manager (EMM386.EXE) so that
it does not occupy the memory space used by the CIS(Card Information
Structure). Normally, the install program of Card Manager set the
X option to EMM386.EXE. The supplied install program set X=CE00-CEFF
to EMM386.EXE, if the ASPIO365.SYS is installed.
(2) Card Manager (Card Service, Socket Service)
The ASPIOMGR.SYS controls the Interface Card through Card Managers.
Therefore, the DOS system requires that the Card Manager be installed.
Usually, the Card Manager is supplied from your computer vendor.
The ASPIO365.SYS controls the Interface Card without Card Managers,
if the PCMCIA controller LSI on your computer is an Intel 82365 (or
100% compatible).
(3) ASPI Manager
The ASPI manager will install by determining which card managers
are used. The installation program (supplied on the Setup disk)
selects a suitable ASPI manager and installs it automatically.
(4) CD-ROM Device Driver (KMECD.SYS)
The installation program on the Setup disk automatically installs
the CD-ROM device driver after the ASPI manager.
(5) LASTDRIVE
Through the Lastdrive command, the final valid drive letter is set.
The installation program on the Setup disk sets LASTDRIVE=M after the
CD-ROM device driver, if there is no LASTDRIVE command in CONFIG.SYS.
4-1. Sample of IBM Card Service (conforms to PCMCIA 2.00)

************************************************************
(A) Installed EMM386.EXE(expanded memory manager) without
allocating the memory window segment from D0000h to D7FFFh.
This setting must be same as 'MEM=' option in CSALLOC.INI file (B-3).
(B) Installed Card Managers.
Some computers may use SSCIRRUS.EXE, SSDBOOK.EXE or
SSVADEM.EXE instead of SS365SL.EXE.
(C) Installed ASPIOMGR.SYS (ASPI manager for Card Service)
in the condition of I/O address = 280h.
(D) Installed KMECD.SYS (CD-ROM Device Driver) with internal

* IRQ=3,5,A-B,F *<- (H)
***************************************************************
(F) Specifying the memory window segment address "D000h-D7FFh" in
order to get card information. In order to avoid conflicts,
this window is not to be used by another program. Thus, you
must specify "X=D000-D7FF" option of the EMM386.EXE on
CONFIG.SYS file to reserve this area.
(G) Specifying the I/O address "100-16F,178-1EF,208-2E7,2F0-2F7,
300-307,310-36F,380-3BF" is available for the Interface Card.
The address "308-30F" is not described in this case, so you
can't allocate "/port=300"(300h-30Fh used) for our products.
(H) IRQ numbers available for the Card Service are specified.

5. Supplement
5-1. Playing Audio CD on Windows 3.1, 3.11 Media Player
If you wish to play an Audio CD on the Media Player through Windows,
you must add the "[MCI] CD Audio" driver program.
== HOW TO ADD THE MCI CD AUDIO DRIVER ==
(1) Make sure that your computer recognize the CD-ROM player.
(2) Set an Audio CD in CD-ROM player.
(3) Double click Main on the Program Manager.
(4) Double click Control Panel.
(5) Double click Drivers.
If you find [MCI] CD Audio listed, you do not have to change
its setting. Quit this procedure.
(6) Click Add button.
(7) Click [MCI] CD Audio, then follow the screen message.
== HOW TO PLAY AN AUDIO CD ==
(1) Double click Accessories on Program Manager.
(2) Start Media Player.
(3) Select CD Audio from Device menu.
5-2. Examining the PCMCIA controller LSI(Intel 82365)
When the computer supplies neither Card Service nor Socket Service, and
has an Intel 82365 (or 100% compatible) PCMCIA controller LSI, the
installation program on the Setup disk installs the ASPIO365.SYS file
automatically. This ASPI manager controls the PCMCIA controller
directly.
Determining if the computer has a PCMCIA controller LSI as follows:
(1) At the DOS prompt, type 'DEBUG'.
This command usually exists in the directory of C:\DOS.
(2) Write '0' into the 3E0h of the I/O port.
(3) Read the returned value 3E1h of the I/O port.
(4) Hit 'q' to quit DEBUG.COM.
******************************
* C:\DOS>DEBUG <Enter> *<- (1)
* -o 3E0 0 <Enter> *<- (2)
* -i 3E1 <Enter> *<- (3)
* -83 *<- TEST RESULT
* -q <Enter> *<- (4)
* C:\DOS> *
******************************
A result value of 82, 83 and 84 indicates that the computer is using an
Intel 82365 (or compatible LSI), and the ASPIO365.SYS should operate.
But if you have a problem, please modify /PORT or /MEM option of
ASPIO365.SYS and X option of Expanded Memory Manager.
5-3. Using SMARTDRV.EXE Ver. 5.0 for CD-ROM cache
MSCDEX.EXE Ver. 2.23 (or later) enables you to cache the CD-ROM with
SMARTDRV.EXE Ver. 5.0 supplied by DOS on your computer.
By using this command, it enables the CD-ROM to read data at a higher
speed. (Some do not follow this rule.)
To engage this function, you should specify SMARTDRV.EXE after
MSCDEX.EXE on the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
If you want to disable the cache, edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and move
the added MSCDEX.EXE line behind the SMARTDRV.EXE line.
5-4. Connecting to SCSI I/F board on a desktop computer
If you wish to use the CD-ROM with a desktop computer, a commercial SCSI
board is necessary. If you are already using a SCSI board, before you
run the CD-ROM's installation program, check the CONFIG.SYS and the
AUTOEXEC.BAT files to make sure there is no other related device driver
for other CD-ROM drives.
If there is something like the following, please put the 'REM' on top of
line in order to ignore it.
For example:
About CR-ROM device driver in the CONFIG.SYS file
DEVICE=C:\<Path>\ASPICD.SYS
DEVICE=C:\<Path>\CR_ASPI.SYS
DEVICE=C:\<Path>\CUNI_ASP.SYS
About CD-ROM Extensions in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
C:\<Path>\CORELCDX
5-5. Computers which have a PC card slot and are using another brand
SCSI card
If you attempt to install this CD-ROM Player on a computer which
has a PC card slot, and you are already using another brand SCSI card,
and before you run this CD-ROM's installation program, check the
CONFIG.SYS and the AUTOEXEC.BAT files to make sure there is no other
device driver related for the ASPI manager on the CD-ROM. If there is,
please put the 'REM' on top of line in order to ignore it.
For example:
About ASPI Manager in the CONFIG.SYS file
DEVICE=C:\<Path>\ASPI2DOS.SYS
DEVICE=C:\<Path>\MA460.SYS
About CD-ROM device driver in the CONFIG.SYS file
DEVICE=C:\<Path>\ASPICD.SYS
DEVICE=C:\<Path>\CR_ASPI.SYS
DEVICE=C:\<Path>\CUNI_ASP.SYS
About CD-ROM Extensions in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
C:\<Path>\CORELCDX
5-6. Terminator setting
Please set the terminator switch according to the conditions of the
CD-ROM player.
OFF: When the supplied Interface Card is used to connect to a computer.
When using independently as an audio Player.
(Power consumption can be saved).
ON: When the Player is connected to the desktop computer with
SCSI board.
The factory setting is OFF.
Please change the terminator setting with power off when you need.
5-7. Insertion / Removal of the Interface Card with the power on
If you are using the card manager (Card Service and Socket Service),
you can insert or take out the Interface Card with the computer turned
on. For example, you have connected the CD-ROM player, and then you want
to use the FAX modem card. Change the card to the FAX modem card and
use. Then, change it back to the Interface Card and continue.
However, in this case if you leave the computer power on, also leave
the CD-ROM power on, and put the card into the slot. If there is more
than one card slot, make sure to put the Interface Card back into the
same slot as before.
5-8. Using the CD-ROM player with .WAVjammer(PCMCIA sound card)
After operating the CD-ROM player, or after executing the Setup disk
program, install the .WAVjammer driver soft and restart the computer.
In this condition, the Windows program will probably not operate,
because the base address of the I/O for both the CD-ROM player and
.WAVjammer are at 300h.
You can solve this problem in one of the following ways.
(1) Changing the address of the I/O for .WAVjammer to be other than
300h-31Fh.
(2) Editing the address of the I/O for the CD-ROM player by changing
the "/port=300" option. (See 1-1)
By using either one of the above methods, edit the CONFIG.SYS, restart
the computer (Ctrl+Alt+Del). Windows should now be operative.
5-9. Mixed mode CDs (Enhanced CDs)
The mixed mode CDs have both CD-DA data(Audio data) and CD-ROM data
(digital data) on a disc. There are following kind of mixed mode CDs.
(a) Audio data occupies session 1, Digital data occupies session 2 and up.
(it is called CD Extra)
(b) Digital data occupies session(or track) 1, Audio data occupies
session(or track) 2 and up.
In the case of (a), you can operate the CD-ROM data by using your
computer, and also you can play the audio data independently on the
Player.
In the case of (b), when you play the audio data on your computer (For
example Media Player), you must specify a track that recorded audio data
(it is normally 2 track and up). Then you can listen to audio from
built-in speaker on the Player. But you cannot play the audio data
independently on the Player.
6. Troubleshooting Guide
6-1. In case the computer hangs up in Windows 3.1, 3.11
When operating the CD-ROM soft under Windows, there is a chance that
the computer will hang up and you cannot operate the CD-ROM software.
The cause is probably a problem in the computer set-up.
Please also refer to the CD-ROM soft manual as well as the computer,
DOS and Windows 3.1, 3.11 manual.
6-2. Microsoft MemMaker
When you changed CONFIG.SYS file by using the Microsoft MemMaker that
optimize the memory, you computer may not recognize the supplied
