Installation Overview for IBM-PC & Compatibles
Device Driver & MSCDEX File
The INSTALL program adds a line to the CONFIG. SYS File which tells the
system to load the device driver that is correct for the SCSI host adapter installed in
the computer and it adds or modifies a line in the computer’s AUTOEXEC.BAT file
to access MSCDEX (Microsoft CD Extensions).
Device Driver Loaded into CONFIG.SYS
The device driver line in the CONFIG.SYS indicates the Directory and PATH
where it is located, as well as the SCSI ID number of the CD-ROM Changer, and
it installs the CDP commands. The CONFIG.SYS File should look similar to this:
DEVICE = C:\DEV\DRD600.SYS /D:MSCD000 /N:6 /S:0 /C:CDP
The device driver allows communication to take place between a computer system
and a peripheral device. It is loaded when the system is booted. Pioneer supplies
the following three device drivers for use with several common SCSI host adapters:
1. DRD600.SYS
This device driver works with the Future Domain SCSI host adapters (TMC
and MCS series) and with the Pioneer DD-C5002 SCSI host adapter.
2. DRD60PS.SYS
This device driver works with the IBM SCSI host adapters for PS/2s.
3. DRD60ASP.SYS
This device driver works with any ASPI compatible host adapter that supports
multiple LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers). Note: When using an ASPI compatible
host adapter, obtain the ASPI Manager file from the host adapter manufacturer or
distributor. Install the ASPI Manager before you run the Pioneer Driver
Installation Program.
During the QUICK INSTALLATION procedure, indicate the type of SCSI host adapter
installed in your computer: ASPI Compatible , DD-C5002, FUTURE DOMAIN, or
IBM. (The default is Future Domain). The INSTALL program then loads the proper
driver into the CONFIG.SYS file.
