INTRODUCTION
Software Requirements
Reading Data
For your computer to recognise your new CD-Rom drive and to be able to
access data from it, the correct device drivers must be installed.
Most modern operating systems such as Microsoft® Windows 95™,
Windows 98™, Windows ME™, Windows NT4™ and Windows
2000™ along with most versions of Linux and OS/2™ include these
drivers as standard in the operating system, hence no additional drivers are
required for reading discs on these operating systems.
Windows 3.xx™ and MS-DOS™
If you require the drive to be recognised by Microsoft Windows 3.xx or
MS-DOS you will need to install the MS-DOS™ device driver. It can be
downloaded from our support web site:
http://www.sony.com.au/support/itp
NOTE: If using Windows 95 or later and you have previously
installed the MS-DOS device driver it is recommended that you disable
or remove MS-DOS device driver as it will decrease performance.
