Appendix C. Customizing device driver configuration settings Attention: After you install the IBM 2X/4X/24X CD-ReWritable Drive Option Diskette, you can use a DOS session in Windows 3.x, DOS, OS/2, Windows 98, and Windows 95 to access the drive as a CD-ROM drive. This section contains optional configuration information for the IBM 2X/4X/24X CD-ReWritable Drive Option Diskette device drivers for Windows 3.x, DOS, OS/2 and Windows 98 and 95. Use the online help during the installation and refer to the READ.
The device driver automatically checks the industry standard primary IDE port (address 1F0, interrupt 14) and secondary IDE port (address 170, interrupt 15). The /P parameter is not needed if your CD-ROM drive is connected to either of these ports. However, if your computer (or IDE adapter) uses different IDE port addresses or interrupts, you must use this option. Refer to the instructions that come with your computer or IDE adapter for more information about the configuration of your computer or adapter.
/I:n This parameter enables interrupt sharing. If n=1, interrupt sharing is enabled. If n=0, interrupt sharing is disabled. The default value is 0. Set this parameter to enabled when the IDE interrupt must be shared with another device. For example, a PS/2 9577 computer with IDE could share interrupt 14 with the IBM SCSI Adapter /A. /D:device name This parameter specifies the name of the CD-ROM drive (eight characters maximum).
memory, and too many buffer specifications might slow down your computer or interfere with other programs that have large memory-usage requirements. You might be able to specify a larger number of buffers to enhance CD-ROM drive performance without adversely affecting programs that have large memory-usage requirements if you use expanded memory (see the /E option in this section) or if you load MSCDEX.
For more information on techniques to conserve conventional memory, refer to the following topics in the documentation that comes with your operating system: DOS=UMB, DOS=HIGH,UMB (CONFIG.SYS entry) This command enables the use of upper memory and loads DOS, MSCDEX, and the IDE CD-ROM device driver in upper memory. HIMEM.SYS (CONFIG.SYS entry) This is a device driver that manages extended memory (RAM memory above 1 MB). Windows automatically loads this device driver. EMM386.EXE (CONFIG.
If you are using DOS 4.0, be sure you have DOS Corrective Service Diskette level UR 29015 or later installed. (The computer cannot be configured as an Extended Services Domain Controller for the IBM PC LAN Program.) The following parameter is available: Contact your IBM reseller for more information about the PC LAN Program Corrective Service Diskette or the DOS Corrective Service Diskette. The file system device driver for OS/2 is CDFS.IFS.
If you have an IBM Micro Channel computer, an IDE device driver is available for Micro Channel architecture on the IBM Web site (http://www.ibm.com). Use the Web site search utility, and look for IBM2IDE.ADD. Changing the Auto Insert Notify and DMA parameters Changing the Windows 98 and Windows 95 device drivers 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Windows 98 and Windows 95 have two device driver configuration parameters: Auto Insert Notify and DMA.
Appendix D. Problem solving Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or user error. You might be able to use the information in this section to solve problems yourself, or gather helpful information you can pass on to a service technician. You might also need to refer to your computer, operating-system, or sound-adapter publications. You can also use the problem-solving diagnostic program for DOS on the IBM 2X/4X/24X CD-ReWritable Drive Option Diskette.
drive, attach it to the connector at the other end of the cable and attach the CD-ReWritable drive to the middle connector. 4. Consult the hard disk drive manufacturer or vendor if an older hard disk drive is conducting a thermal recalibration during a write operation. You cannot format a CD-RW disc. 5. Replace media if it is bad or scratched. Take the following actions: 6. Try disabling the Windows Auto Insert Notify function on your CD-ROM and CD-RW drives. 1.
3. If you read from a CD-RW disc in the writing drive, but not in another Multi-Read drive, be sure that a UDF Reader program is installed in the system. For more information on installing the UDF Reader program, go to “Step 9. Installing the Easy CD Creator/DirectCD software” on page 1-7. 4. Verify that you are not attempting to write the disc under extreme environmental conditions such as the following: low temperature (5°C/41°F or below) high temperature (45°C/113°F or above) excessive shock (>0.
You cannot access the CD-ReWritable drive or the CD-ROM icon does not display (OS/2). Your CD-ReWritable drive device driver might not be loaded or cannot be found. Before checking the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT file, make a backup copy of CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT in a preferred directory. 1. At the DOS prompt: C:\OS2\BOOT\OS2CDROM.DMD C:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS If the device drivers are not present, reinstall them. See the README.
If this line is not present, add it. The CD-ReWritable drive is not recognized by the operating system or the drive performs erratically. 6. Type E (or your editor name) AUTOEXEC.BAT and press Enter. Some computers, such as IBM PS/ValuePoint models 6472, 6482, 7. Check for the following device driver line. 6484, 6492, and 6494, have compatible and high performance modes for mass storage devices. Normally, the CD-ReWritable drive LH C:\MSCDEX /D:IBMCD1 /M:1 functions better under the high performance mode.
drive. The following procedure uses the E text editor to create the CONFIG.SYS file from the A prompt. The computer does not recognize the CD-ReWritable drive after the device drivers are loaded (DOS and Windows 3.X). 1) Type e config.sys and press Enter. Check for incompatibilities among the CD-RW drive device driver and other device drivers or other hardware in your computer. Create a System Diskette with minimum CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT system files.
6. Load a data CD into the CD tray; then wait until the busy indicator is not lit. 7. Attempt to read from the CD by typing dir x: where x is the CD-ReWritable drive letter assigned after the MSCDEX message. If the computer is able to read the CD, a conflict probably exists between the device drivers loaded in the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files. You need to resolve this device conflict.
There is no sound from the CD. Take the following actions. 1. Check that you are using an audio CD and not a data CD. 2. Adjust the volume control on the drive. See “Front view of the drive” on page 2-2 to locate the volume control if you have connected headphones to the front of the drive. 3. Adjust the sound-adapter volume control. See the documentation that comes with your sound adapter and audio-CD player program. 4.
