DVD-ROM DRIVE UNIT Installation Manual

DVD-A01 DVD-101

1. Drive Unit Connection

1.1 Adding the DVD-ROM to a configuration with one IDE Hard Disk

Set DVD-A01/DVD-101 to SL (Slave mode) by setting a jumper on the rear side. Make sure the Hard Disk is set to IDE Master mode (Check your Hard Disk’s documentation for details).

1.2 Connecting the DVD-ROM to an IDE card

MA (Master mode) or SL (Slave mode) are both valid settings.

2. OS Specific Information

2.1 MS-DOS

If your OS is MS-DOS (or IBM PC-DOS), then perform the following steps:

2.1.1 Copy from floppy disk

Copy the file ATAPI_CD.SYS to your Hard Disk.

2.1.2 Modify CONFIG.SYS

After connecting the DVD-ROM drive and copying the device driver to the Hard Disk, add the following line to CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=C:¥ATAPI_CD.SYS LASTDRIVE=Z

Valid options for this device driver are listed below. In most cases however, you don’t need to specify any options. In case no options are specified, the driver will search for the DVDA01/DVD-101 automatically. If the device driver loads successfully but the DVD-ROM can’t be accessed, you must specify the LASTDRIVE line in CONFIG.SYS. Setting device driver options:

e.g. DEVICE=C:¥ATAPI_CD.SYS /S:1 /D:MSCD001

[Option]

/S:x ———> DVD-ROM Drive ID.

This determines the setting of the drive to Master or Slave and the connection to the Primary or Secondary IDE channel.

x = 0: Master Drive on Primary IDE Channel

1: Slave Drive on Primary IDE Channel 2: Master Drive on Secondary IDE Channel 3: Slave Drive on Secondary IDE Channel

/D: ******* CD-ROM Device name e.g. /D:PIONEER

If you do not specify this option, a default CD-ROM Device name is used: “MSCD001”. In case you copied the device driver to a sub-directory, specify

the FULL PATH name in the “DEVICE=..... ” line in

CONFIG.SYS.

2.1.3 Modify AUTOEXEC.BAT

Add the following line to AUTOEXEC.BAT:

e.g. MSCDEX.EXE /D:PIONEER

Make sure the CD-ROM Device name is the same as in CONFIG.SYS: “/D : PIONEER”. (In case you didn’t specify this option in CONFIG.SYS, specify “/D:MSCD001”)

2.2 MS-Windows Ver. 3.xx (Ver. 3.1, Ver. 3.11, for Workgroup)

In case the DVD-A01/DVD-101 is connected to the Primary IDE Channel and the IDE Hard Disk is set to Master mode, the “32bitDiskAccess” parameter in the Windows SYSTEM.INI file should be set to OFF. This can be achieved in two ways: Double-click Control Panels, then double-click “386 Enhanced” and check off the “32bitDiskAccess” checkbox. Click OK and restart. Experienced users can edit the SYSTEM.INI file in the Windows directory:

32bitDiskAccess = OFF

2.3 Windows NT (Upper Ver. 3.5)

After connecting the DVD-A01/DVD-101 to the primary IDE Channel in Slave mode, install Windows NT. Then the DVDROM drive will be automatically recognized. If you are adding the DVD-A01/DVD-101 to an existing Windows NT installation, refer to the Windows NT documentation. (The DVD-A01/DVD-101 can be installed as an ATAPI device)

2.4 Windows 95

After connecting the DVD-A01/DVD-101 to the primary or secondary IDE channel, refer to section 2.1 and install the (MS-)DOS device driver (ATAPI_CD.SYS). If you are adding the DVD-A01/DVD-101 to Windows 95, the DVD-A01/DVD-101 will be automatically recognized.
