		    CD8 Device Driver
		    ------------------------------

Installing CD8 driver on DOS:
----------------------------------

There are two ways you can install the CD8 driver:

1. If you want the driver to be loaded during system boot up,
   type A:(or B:)\INSTALL

2. You can also load the driver from the command prompt by typing CDDRIVE 
   from A:(or B:). Please make sure that you have MSCDEX.EXE in your 
   hard disk and path is set to that directory.

   Note: 1. In this case, you need to run CDDRIVE whenever your system
	    is restarted.
	 2. This option cannot be used in Windows 95 DOS sessions.
	 3. If you get an error message saying that there are not enough
	    drive letters available, add the following line in CONFIG.SYS,
	    LASTDRIVE=Z 
	 4. You can assign a fixed drive letter for all the systems for your 
	    parallel port drive. For example type CDDRIVE /L:G where you would
	    like to assign drive letter G to parallel port drive.

Driver Command line options:
----------------------------
Use these command line options ONLY if the driver is unable to detect the
hardware.
/V        - Enables slow mode.
/SF=1..30 - Slows down the access by forcing a slow factor ranging from 1 to 30
/U        - Forces uni-directional mode, it is the slowest mode of operation 
	    and should be selected only if the driver fails to recognize the 
	    CD-ROM.
/E        - Slows down EPP access. Use this option only if you are sure that
	    your printer port is an Enhanced Parallel Port. On other port
	    types, this option has no effect.
/P        - Pauses if the driver fails to install. The DOS boot process will
	    display an error message and wait for the user to press a key
	    before continuing.    
/Q        - Ignores multiple slots for CD Changers. The driver will allocate 
	    only one driver letter which will initially refer to the first 
	    slot. You can mount any slot for this drive letter by using the 
	    CDMOUNT utility or WINMOUNT utility for Windows.

These options can be added to the following driver line entry in CONFIG.SYS, 

  DEVICE=C:\CD8X\CD8.SYS /D:MSCD001

For example, you can force slow mode by adding /V as follows,

  DEVICE=C:\CD8X\CD8.SYS /D:MSCD001 /V
