To set up a PC card or parallel port CD-ROM drive
The general steps for setting up a PC card CD-ROM drive are as follows:
1. Copy the device drivers—from the installation software provided with the
CD-ROM drive—to the Support Utility disk into the A:\tools directory.
2. Add the device=driver statements to the CONFIG.SYS file on the Support
Utility disk. The device statements should immediately follow the [USERCD]
label.
3. Check the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to make sure that the CD-ROM drive is assigned
as drive G:.
Before the OmniBook can recognize the CD-ROM drive, you’ll need to edit the
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on the Support Utility disk. The required
device-drivers statements come from the CD-ROM manufacturer.
What you’ll need from your CD-ROM manufacturer
1. The names of the device drivers to copy to the Support Utility disk.
2. The device=drivers statements to add the CONFIG.SYS file.
3. Statements that the CD-ROM drive may need to add to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Hint
Both the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files contain comments that should help
your CD-ROM manufacturer advise you in editing the files to meet the particular
requirements for your device
