  ----- HOW TO INSTALL ATAPI CD-ROM DEVICE DRIVER -----

  ********************
  **  Introduction  **
  ********************

  This utility installs the CD-ROM device driver needed by your CD-ROM
  drive to interface with your PC system. The drive installation disk
  includes the following files:

  * README.TXT       This file
  * INSTALL.EXE      CD-ROM installation program
  * IDE.SYS          CD-ROM device driver


  ********************
  **  Requirements  **
  ********************

  Hardware Requirements :
  * IBM PC/AT or 100% compatible
  * one free IDE socket
  * one IDE CD-ROM drive

  Software Requirement:
  * MS-DOS version 6.0 or later
  * Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later
  * MS-DOS CD-Extension (MSCDEX 2.21) or later

  *******************************
  **  Installation Procedures  **
  *******************************

  Follow the steps below to install CD-ROM driver:

  1. Restart your computer in DOS mode.
  2. Insert the installation disk into your floppy disk drive.
  3. Change the directory to that of your floppy disk drive (usually A:),
     and type "INSTALL <Enter>" at the DOS prompt.
  4. After the installation is complete, reboot your system.

  Two files will be modified to include the following lines:

  CONFIG.SYS :
           DEVICE=C:\CDROM\IDE.SYS /D:IDECD000
     
  AUTOEXEC.BAT :
           MSCDEX.EXE /D:IDECD000

  NOTE: Make sure you have the file MSCDEX.EXE under your path.  Refer
        to your DOS manual or the online help for more information.

  *************************
  **   Change Settings   **
  *************************

  Modify the previous two command lines in CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
  to reconfigure the settings of the CD-ROM driver, and then restart
  your system.

  To enabling DMA function, change the CONFIG.SYS file as:

  DEVICE=C:\CDROM\IDE.SYS /D:IDECD000 [/DMA] [/P:xxx,yy]

  "/DMA" enables BUS MASTER function if your mother board supports this
  function.
  "/UDMA" enables ULTRA DMA function if your mother board supports this
  function.
  "/q" or "/Q" enable quick mode. (Default)

  Example:   
          DEVICE=C:\CDROM\IDE.SYS /D:IDECD000 /q /DMA /P:1F0,14

  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). 

  Note:
  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:
            MSCDEX /D:IDECD001 /L:G /M:10

  For more information, please refer to MS-DOS online help for MSCDEX
  by typing HELP MSCDEX.

How To Update Drivers Manually

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.
