ABOUT FDCDTEST
==============
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
-------------------
The CD-ROM test utility was designed to test the integrity of the Future
Domain CD-ROM Device Driver and CD-ROM drives. Users and Developers will
now be able to test all the functions supported by the CD-ROM Driver for
problems related to the CD-ROM Driver or the CD-ROM drive itself.
This utility is also used in the Future Domain Quality Assurance Test
Procedure for each drive supported by the Future Domain CD-ROM Driver.
This is performed to ensure that every available function is operational
for use with the CD-ROM applications on the market as well as future CD-ROM
applications. FDCD test is written to the Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions.
For a complete description of all the functions supported by the Microsoft
CD-ROM Extensions, you may contact Microsoft Corporation for a copy.
TO START FDCDTEST
-----------------
To run the FDCDTEST program change directory to where the FDCDTEST.COM file
is and at the DOS prompt type the following:
fdcdtest <Enter>
The program locates all CD-ROM drives within the system attached to the
Future Domain SCSI Controller(s) and prompts for a drive selection.
You need to select a CD-ROM drive to test.
The Main menu is then displayed.
FDCDTEST will abort if the following conditions occur:
The CD-ROM Extensions are not installed.
No CD-ROM drives found attached to the Future Domain SCSI Controller.
There are three Function Menus available. These are:
Main Menu
IOCTL Input Menu
IOCTL Output Menu
To minimize the screen output, the menus are displayed only once. You may
press the ? key to re-display a menu.
FUNCTION MENUS
--------------
Main Menu
---------
This menu is displayed upon startup of the program. Pressing the <Enter>
key from this menu will cause the program to terminate.
Following are the descriptions of the options available from the Main menu.
0 - IOCTL INPUT
Choose this option to select an IOCTL Input option from the IOCTL Input Menu.

Used by the Dvice Driver to determine the number of callers that are
currently using the CD-ROM Device Driver.
4 - DEVICE CLOSE
Used by the Device Driver to determine the number of callers that are
currently using the CD-ROM Device Driver.
5 - READ LONG
A SCSI Read command is issued to the CD-ROM drive with the option of
specifying the Addressing Mode and the Data Read Mode.
Addressing 0 - High Sierra Mode
Modes:
1 - Red Book mode
Date Read 0 - Cooked mode : usually the
Modes: default mode for EDC/ECC
checking which returns a block
size of 2048 bytes.
1 - Raw mode - for no EDC/ECC
checking, this option returns all
2352 bytes which includes the
EDC/ECC data.
6 - READ LONG PREFETCH
Same as READ LONG but no data is transferred.
7 - SEEK
A SCSI Seek command is issued to the CD-ROM drive with the option of
specifying the Addressing Mode.
Addressing 0 - High Sierra mode
Modes:
1 - Red Book mode
8 - PLAY AUDIO
This function is used to play a selected track on an audio disc.
Track Number: Any valid track on an audio disc.
Play to end of disc: This gives you the option to either play to
the end of the disc or just the specified
track.
9 - STOP AUDIO
This function is used to pause or stop a CD-ROM drive while in Play mode.
Selecting this option once will put the drive in Pause mode and selecting
this option twice consecutively will put the drive in the Stop mode.
A - RESUME AUDIO
This function is used to restart Play mode on a CD-ROM drive currently in
Pause mode. A "General Failure" error status will occur if the drive is
in Stop mode.
B - DISPLAY DEVICE STATUS
The Device status is a 2-byte value which is returned by the device driver
to indicate the command request has successfully been completed. This
function displays Bit 8 and 9 of this status which corresponds to the Done
and Busy bit.
IOCTL Input Menu
----------------
The IOCTL Input menu is displayed by selecting option 0 from the Main menu.
Press the <Enter> key to return to the Main menu. The following section
describes the options available from the IOCTL Input menu.
0 - RETURN DRIVER ADDRESS
A 4-byte address is displayed indicating where in the system memory the
CD-ROM driver is located.
1 - LOCATION OF HEAD
Displays the current location of th drive head in High Sierra and Red Book
format.
2 - AUDIO CHANNEL INFO
Use to display the current Audio Channel control settings. These settings
may be changed using the Audio Channel Control IOCTL Output function.
There are a total of 4 input and output channels that may be supported by
a CD-ROM drive. Valid channels are 0 to 3 which represent the following:
Channel 0: Front left
Channel 1: Front right
Channel 2: Rear left
Channel 3: Rear right
Input Channel: This is the actual channel that is read
from an Audio track on a disc.
Output Channel: This is the channel that comes from
the drive's amplifier to power the
speakers.
Volume Control: A value from 0 to 255 indicating the
volume setting on the specified
channel. A volume control of 0
indicates Mute mode and a volume
control of 255 indicats Full volume.
3 - DEVICE STATUS
The device status is maintained by the CD-ROM driver to provide a general
description of the options currently set and available on the CD-ROM drive.
The device status is maDe up of 32 bits which are defined as follows:
Bit 0: 0 - Door closed

mechanism.
ERROR MESSAGES
--------------
The CD-ROM driver returns a Status code for every command request that is
completed. This code is used to indicate whether the command request was
completed successfully or if an error occurred. In the event of an error,
the driver will set the Error bit (bit-15) in the status code and will
place the error code in bits 0-7.
If an error occurs when using this utility, the program will automatically
convert the error code to one of the following error messages.
Error Code: Error Messages:
0 Write protect violation
1 Unknown unit
2 Drive not ready
3 Unknown command
4 CRC error
5 Bad drive request structure length
