INICD.SYS is a DOS device driver for SCSI CD-ROM drives. It functions as the
interface between these drives and the generic Microsoft CD-ROM driver,
MSCDEX.EXE. INICD.SYS requires that the
Ultra2 LVD SCSI Host Adapter
’s ASPI
Manager be loaded. A “DEVICE=” or “DEVICEHIGH=” command line to load
INICD.S'YS is automatically added to the CONFIG.SYS startup file by the
DOSSETUP or SETUP program. (You will be asked whether or not you want to
load this driver high; the program will add the correpsonding command to
CONFIG.SYS depending on how you answer.) INICD.SYS is on Driver Disk 1. It has
three command-line options—/D:, /T, and /X:—as described below.
/D: or /d:—Use this option to define a “device name” for a CD-ROM drive. This
device name must also be passed to MSCDEX.EXE on its command line (using the
same /D: or/d: option). The name specified must be eight characters or fewer in
length. Valid characters are uppercase letters “A” through “Z,” lowercase letters “a”
through “z,” the digits “0” through “9,” and the underscore character. The name
must start with a letter. Examples of valid command-line phrases:
• /D:INICD001
• /d:mscd001
• /d:MYCD_01
/T or /t—Use this option to specify a timeout value to be used when sending
commands to a CD-ROM drive. If a CD-ROM drive does not respond to a
command within the specified timeout period, the command will be aborted and
an appropriate error message will be displayed. The timeout value is specified in
minutes. Valid values are “1” (one minute) through “9” (nine minutes) and “D” or
“d” (timeout disabled). We do not recommend disabling the timeout—if you do,
faulty hardware will be able to lock up your system. Examples of valid command-
line phrases:
• /T4
• /Td
• /TD
• /T1
