Command Line Options for
aspicd.sys
Option Example Use
/d:
<name>
/d:aspicd0 Required in the
config.sys
command line. Assigns a
name to the CD-ROM drive so that
mscdex
can assign
the CD-ROM a logical drive letter. The name must
exactly match the CD-ROM drive name in the
mscdex
command line in
autoexec.bat
. Use any eight-character
name.
/id=
{…}
/id=2+4
/id=3+5+1:4
Specifies CD-ROM drives controlled by
aspicd
. By
default,
aspicd
controls all drives. In the first example,
which is for a computer with one host adapter,
aspicd
controls the devices with SCSI IDs 2 and 4. In the sec-
ond example, for a computer with two host adapters,
aspicd
controls the devices with SCSI IDs 3 and 5 on
host adapter 0 and SCSI ID 4 on host adapter 1 (if you
do not specify the host adapter number,
aspicd
assumes it is 0).
/L /L Enables
aspicd
to recognize all eight possible LUNs
associated with each SCSI ID. If the option is not used,
aspicd
can recognize only LUN 0 for each SCSI ID. Add
the /L option to the command line if you have a
CD-ROM drive that can access multiple discs.
If your computer system includes a Pioneer DRM-600
or DRM-604x multiple-disc CD-ROM drive, you do not
need to add the /L option. The
aspicd
device driver
automatically scans multiple LUNs if it detects one of
these devices on the SCSI bus.
/norst /norst Prevents
aspicd
from issuing a SCSI Bus Reset mes-
sage at system start-up. The default is to issue it. The
SCSI Bus Reset message (supported by Toshiba,
Hitachi, and NEC drives) resets drives that are playing
audio CDs when the computer reboots.
/pause /pause Makes your system pause after loading
aspicd
at
bootup, so you can read the message on the screen.
Press any key to resume booting.
/type:
<drive vendor>
/type:sony Allows
aspicd
to support audio play mode for CD-ROM
drives that are compatible with a supported drive type
but are not included on the list of supported drives. If
you use the /type:
<drive vendor>
option,
aspicd
assumes that all CD-ROM drives on the SCSI bus are
made by this vendor—you cannot combine different
brands of CD-ROM drives on the bus. The valid entries
for this option are chinon, denon, hitachi, lms, nec,
panasonic, sony, texel, and toshiba.
