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.ME file on the IBM
2X/4X/24X CD-ReWritable Drive Option Diskette for additional
information.
Requirements vary, and you might need to customize the configuration
that the CDSETUP program installed on your computer. This section
provides information and describes parameters that you might need to
change or add for your installation.
Changing device driver parameters for DOS and
Windows
Most computers will function adequately with the default settings for
the IBMIDECD.SYS device driver file. However, there are some
parameters that can be changed if necessary. This section explains the
function of each parameter. Use a text editor to modify the
appropriate line in your CONFIG.SYS file. For the IBMIDECD.SYS
device driver file, the line in CONFIG.SYS is in the following format:
DEVICE=[drive:][path]IBMIDECD.SYS /D:device name
[/P:xxx,yy] [/A:n] [/U:n]
[/L:xx] [/T:n] [/I:n]
(Do not truncate the actual device driver entry. Place the complete
DEVICE= on one line in the CONFIG.SYS file.)
[drive:][path]IBMIDECD.SYS
The above parameter specifies the location (drive and directory) and
name of the device driver file.
Use the following options to configure the device driver.
/D:device name
This parameter specifies the device name of the CD-ROM
drive. This name must be identical to the device name
specified in the MSCDEX.EXE parameters, as shown:
DEVICE=C:\IBMIDECD.SYS /D:IBMCD1
/P:xxx,yy
This parameter specifies the address and interrupt level of the
port to which the IDE CD-ROM drive is connected.
