README file for ATAPI CD-ROM device driver =================================================================== I. Introduction II. Requirements III. Installation Procedures IV. Changing Settings after Installation I. Introduction ================ This CD-ROM package comes with an installation utility. This utility installs the necessary CD-ROM software device driver needed by your CD-ROM drive to interface with your PC system. Files ----- The drive installation diskette includes the following files: README.TXT -- This user information text file INSTALL.EXE -- CD-ROM installation program AOATAPI.SYS -- CD-ROM device driver II. Requirements ================= Hardware Requirements --------------------- 1. IBM PC/AT or compatible (80386-base system or higher recommended) 2. Minimum VGA graphic display 3. Minimum 2M RAM recommended 4. one free IDE socket 5. one CD-ROM drive Software Requirement -------------------- 1. Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later 2. MS-DOS version 6.0 or later 3. MS-DOS CD-Extension (MSCDEX 2.21) or later III. Installation Procedures ============================ To install CD-ROM device driver, please follow the steps below: 1. Insert the installation diskette in your system's 3.5-inch floppy disk drive. 2. Change the directory to that of your floppy disk drive, and type the following at the DOS prompt: INSTALL <Enter> 3. Follow the screen instructions to complete the installation. 4. Reboot system to activate the driver. In general, you can just continuously press the Enter key to install the default settings. A directory (default C:\CDROM) containing the CD-ROM driver will be created during installation. Your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files will also be modified to include the following lines: CONFIG.SYS : [common] DEVICE=C:\CDROM\AOATAPI.SYS /D:IDECD000 AUTOEXEC.BAT : C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:IDECD000 IV. Changing Settings after Installation ========================================= To reconfigure the settings of the CD-ROM driver, use a text editor, such as EDIT.COM, to modify the previous two command lines in CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT and then restart your computer to activate it. Changing the CONFIG.SYS file, and enabling DMA function ------------------------------------------------------- DEVICE=<path>\AOATAPI.SYS /D:<device_name> [/DMA or /ULT] [/P:xxx,yy] The <device_name> is the name MSCDEX will use to find the device driver. The maximum length of <device_name> string is 8 characters. Example: DEVICE=C:\CDROM\AOATAPI.SYS /D:IDECD000 /P:1F0,14 OR DEVICE=C:\CDROM\AOATAPI.SYS /D:IDECD000 /DMA /P:1F0,14 OR DEVICE=C:\CDROM\AOATAPI.SYS /D:IDECD000 /ULT /P:1F0,14 The option "/DMA" enables BUS MASTER function if your mother board supports this function. The option "/ULT" enables ULTRA DMA function if your mother board supports this function. ******************************************************************** The option "/P:" specifies the I/O port address and IRQ level. The number xxx in hex specifies the I/O port address (such as 1F0, 170, 1E8, or 168 in HEX), and yy specifies the IRQ level (such as 14, 15, 11, or 10 in decimal). *** Please do not add /P option if you are not familiar *** *** with I/O port address and IRQ level *** ******************************************************************** Changing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file ---------------------------- MSCDEX /D:driver [/E] [/K] [/S] [/V] [/L:letter] [/M:number] Example: C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:IDECD001 /L:G /M:10 For more information, please refer to MS-DOS online help for MSCDEX by typing HELP MSCDEX. SPECIAL NOTE: A. How to enable Ultra DMA/33 function on CD-ROM drive In Windows 95 operation system. 1. Firstly, please check if your computer ( or motherboard) supports Ultra DMA/33 function. ( ex. Intel 430TX, 440LX chipset supports Ultra DMA/33). 2. If your computer ( or motherboard) supports Ultra DMA/33 function, then please enable the UDMA function in BIOS setting. 3. Please be sure to install the PCI IDE DRIVER (Win95 version) which supporting Ultra DMA/33 function that your computer ( or motherboard) supplier provided. Thus, you can enjoy the feature of Ultra DMA/33 function in your CD-ROM drive. 4. If your computer ( or motherboard) supplier didn't provide the PCI IDE DRIVER (Win95 version) which supporting Ultra DMA/33 function. Please ask your supplier to provide this driver. 5. Please do not use the DMA function of Win95 internally provided in the computer ( or motherboard) which supporting Ultra DMA/33 function. If you enable the DMA function of Win95 internally provided, it will cause your computer system hang up because Win95 only supports the Bus Master DMA function not Ultra DMA/33 function. 6. Unfortunately if your computer system hangs up, please restart your computer and go to BIOS setting to disable the UDMA function then start your computer again. Restore your default setting in Win95. ================================= END =============================Download Driver Pack
