CD-ROM INSTALLATION LATEST INFORMATION
======================================
This file contains information not available prior to the printing of
the Installation Guide.
This file contains the following sections:
1. OS/2 CD-ROM DRIVER
a. Installation if OS/2 2.x is already installed
b. Installation of OS/2 2.1 and CD-ROM driver
c. Description of SBCD2.ADD switches
2. New Technical Support BBS Number
1. OS/2 CD-ROM DRIVER
An OS/2 compatible CD-ROM device driver is included on this disk.
The following steps provide instructions on how to install the driver
with OS/2 versions 2.0 and 2.1.
The file SBCD2.ADD can be used with OS/2 systems which support layered
CD-ROM device management structure. This structure is supported in
OS/2 2.1. Users of OS/2 2.0 can use the OS2CDR package which
contains the OS2CDROM.DMD file for OS/2 2.0. The OS2CDR.ZIP file is
available on Compuserve, forum IBMOS2.
INSTALLATION OF CD-ROM DRIVER IF OS/2 2.x IS ALREADY INSTALLED
--------------------------------------------------------------
OS/2 2.0 users--refer to the document provided in the OS2CDR package first.
1. If you have previously installed OS/2, check whether you have
the following lines in your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS. If you do, delete them
(or REM them out) from your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file.
DEVICE=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
DEVICE=C:\OS2\CDROM.SYS /Q /N:4
2. The following lines must be in your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file for
the CD-ROM to work. The "IFS=..." line may already be in your
OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file. If it is, group it with the lines below;
otherwise, add it. WARNING: Place these lines near the bottom of
your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file--there may be problems if you place them
near the top!
REM ---- NEXT 4 LINES ARE FOR OS/2 CD-ROM SUPPORT -----
BASEDEV=OS2CDROM.DMD (DO NOT SPECIFY A PATH !)
BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220 (DO NOT SPECIFY A PATH !)
IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS
NOTE: The /P:220 specifies the I/O base address used for the Sound
Blaster Pro or Sound Blaster 16 card. Change this value
accordingly if your setting is different.
3. Copy the OS2CDROM.DMD file (on OS/2 2.1 "Diskette 1") to C:\OS2.
4. Copy the SBCD2.ADD file from this disk to the C:\OS2 directory.
5. Reboot the system.
INSTALLATION OF OS/2 2.1 AND CD-ROM DRIVER
------------------------------------------
1. Make duplicate copies of the IBM OS/2 2.1 diskettes--
"Installation Diskette" and "Diskette 1"--that come with OS/2 2.1.
Only make changes to the duplicate diskettes. Keep the original
diskettes in their original condition!
2. Copy the SBCD2.ADD file from this disk onto the duplicate OS/2 2.1
"Diskette 1".
3. Add in the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file on the
duplicate "Diskette 1".
BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220
NOTE: The /P:220 specifies the I/O base address used for the Sound
Blaster Pro or Sound Blaster 16 card. Change this value
accordingly if your setting is different.
4. Reboot the system with the disk "Installation Diskette" and
follow the installation instructions.
5. After the installation is completed, edit your OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file
to include the following lines. Make sure they appear near the end
of the file. You will have to manually add two of the following:
BASEDEV=OS2CDROM.DMD (DO NOT SPECIFY A PATH !)
BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220 (DO NOT SPECIFY A PATH !)
IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS
NOTE: The /P:220 specifies the I/O base address used for the Sound
Blaster Pro or Sound Blaster 16 card. Change this value
accordingly if your setting is different.
6. Reboot the system.
DESCRIPTION OF SBCD2.ADD SWITCHES
---------------------------------
/P:xxx
This switch specifies the port address (in hex) of Sound Blaster card
used. Default setting for xxx is 220.
Example:
BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /P:220
The following switches are optional:
/D:a or /D:x [,y] [,z] [,w]
This switch applies only to CR-563 drives. It specifies the drives
to be run at double transfer speed (300KB/s). The option /D:a
specifies 'all' daisy-chained drives. You can specify individual
drives using the ID number of the drive(s) you want to run at double speed.
Example 1:
BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /D:a
Example 2:
BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /D:1,3
/N:a or /N:x [,y] [,z] [,w]
This switch applies only to CR-563 drives. It specifies the drives
to be run at normal transfer speed (150KB/s). The option /N:a specifies
'all' daisy-chained drives. You can specify individual drives using
the ID number of drive(s) that you want to run at normal speed.
Example 1:
BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /N:a
Example 2:
BASEDEV=SBCD2.ADD /N:0,2
NOTE : The default is double transfer speed whenever it is possible.
If the same drive has been set more than once, the last
setting will take effect.
/T:1 or /T:2
This switch specifies the type of card being used; 1 for standard
sound card and 2 for CD-ROM interface card.

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.
