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.
xxx is the base address of the IDE port.
1F0 for the primary IDE port (Port 1)
170 for the secondary IDE port (Port 2)
yy is the interrupt (IRQ) level.
14 for the primary IDE port (Port 1)
15 or 10 for the secondary IDE port (Port 2)
When four drives are connected, for example, the syntax in the
CONFIG.SYS file would be:
DEVICE=C:IBMIDECD.SYS /D:IBMCD1 /P:1F ,14
/P:17 ,15 /P:1E ,12 /P:16 ,1
(Do not truncate the actual device driver entry. Place the
complete DEVICE= on one line in the CONFIG.SYS file.)
/A:n
This parameter specifies the audio play mode. For a stereo CD,
you can type /A:0 or /A:1. For a monaural CD (left or right
channel only), type /A:1 in order to play the monaural audio
signal from the right and left channels. The default is n=0.
/U:n
This parameter specifies if your computer initializes with the
CD tray unlocked or locked. /U:0 initializes with the tray
unlocked. /U:1 initializes with the tray locked. The default
command is n=0. This command might be used if you want to
secure your CD in the drive.
/L:xx
This parameter specifies the message language where xx
designates the language.
/T:n
This parameter specifies time delays to be built into the IDE
read loop. Use this parameter only in computers that do not
support the IOCHRDY signal on the IDE bus, and in computers
that read from the IDE port faster than the CD-ROM can
provide data. This parameter is usually not required in most
computers.
n is a relative timing parameter that depends on processor
speed. When the value of n increases, the drive data-transfer
rate decreases. Valid values for n are 0 through 99. The
default for n is 0, and the /T parameter is not required.
