PD/CD-ROM DEVICE DRIVER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR OS/2
=========================================================================
This driver supports the IBM PD/CD-ROM Device for OS/2,
the files contained on the driver diskette for OS/2 are:
IBMIDECD.FLT CDROM driver
IBMIDEPD.FLT PD-CDROM driver
OPTICAL.DMD Optical device manager
PDFORMAT.EXE PD Format Utility (for Windows NT compatibility only)
PDINST.CMD CID Installation script
SAMPLE.RSP Sample response script for CID install utility
README.TXT This file
README2.TXT Readme for PD Format Utility
There are two installation methods supplied with this package.
1. Automated Install
2. Manual Installation: This method required editing the CONFIG.SYS and
copying files to the system hardfile directory where your OS/2 is
located.
Before you START
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Make sure you are currently running the standard OS/2 IDE device
drivers. CONFIG.SYS should contain the line:
Basedev=x:\OS2\BOOT\IBM1S506.ADD {options}
where "x:" represents the drive where OS/2 is installed.
2. Insure that your CONFIG.SYS does not contain the following
drivers. If they are present remove them using the un-install utility
supplied on the Bus Master IDE Driver Diskette or remove them manually
from your CONFIG.SYS.
Basedev=x:\OS2\BOOT\PIIXIDE.ADD {options}
which represents the Bus Master IDE device driver.
Basedev=x:\OS2\BOOT\PIIXIDE.FLT {options}
which represents the Bus Master IDE CDROM device driver.
NOTE: Installation assumes that you are already running the IDE
bus in your IBM PC. If this is the first IDE device being installed
in your system the driver IBM1S506.ADD will be added to your CONFIG.SYS.
The above mentioned Bus Master Drivers will be REMed in config.sys if
they remain. The install utility assumes the driver IBM1S506.ADD is
located in the \OS2\BOOT directory. If you have removed the driver,
copy it from your installation diskette 1 to \OS2\BOOT.
Automated Install
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Invoke the install script using the following format:
PDINST /s:<source drive and path> /t:<target drive>
for example, to install from diskette a: to the d: drive, type:
PDINST /s:a:\ /t:d:
2) A confirmation text block will display. If the information is correct,
press enter. If not, press control-C and then enter, and then restart
the program with the correct information.
3) You will need to reboot your system after a successful installation.
Manual Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Copy the following file into the C:\OS2 directory.
PDFORMAT.EXE
2) Copy the remaining files to the C:\OS2\BOOT directory.
IBMIDECD.FLT
IBMIDEPD.FLT
OPTICAL.DMD
PDFORMAT.EXE
SAMPLE.RSP
README.TXT
README2.TXT
3) Edit C:\CONFIG.SYS
- Verify that the the following lines exist in your CONFIG.SYS.
Basedev=IBM1S506.ADD
Device=C:\OS2\BOOT\OS2CDROM.DMD
- Add the following three lines to your CONFIG.SYS. Insuring that
IBMIDECD.FLT is listed prior to the IBMDEPD.FLT.
Basedev=IBMIDECD.FLT /v
Basedev=IBMIDEPD.FLT /v
Device=C:\OS2\BOOT\OPTICAL.DMD /v
- The statements in CONFIG.SYS should look like:
(NOTE: the driver PIIXIDE.FLT should not be loaded by config.sys)
Basedev=IBM1S506.ADD
Basedev=IBMIDECD.FLT /v
Basedev=IBMIDEPD.FLT /v
Device=C:\OS2\BOOT\OPTICAL.DMD /v
Device=C:\OS2\BOOT\OS2CDROM.DMD
NOTE: Your system will view this drive as two separate drive letters.
The order of the last two lines listed above in the CONFIG.SYS
will determine the order of the drive letter assigned to the
drives. For example the above sequence will assign the PD
function letter as D: and the CD-ROM drive function letter as
E: assuming these drive letters are available.
4) Save your new CONFIG.SYS and Reboot.
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
Valid command line parameters for pdinst.cmd:
/R:<response file name> This parameter specifies the drive, path,
and name of the response file to use.
(If no response file is specified, the program
will ask for confirmation on choices before
attempting the install.)
/L1:<error log file> These parameters specify the drive, path
/L2:<History log file> and names of the log files. If these are
not specified, no log file is generated.
/S:<source location> This parameter specifies the source drive
and path.
/T:<target drive> This parameter specifies the target drive
for the config.sys updates and file
placement.
/RK:<keyword=value> This parameter is used to override any keyword
settings in the response file.
KEYWORDS:
target target drive for driver (OS/2 boot drive)
source source path for driver files
=========================================================================
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.
