Part 3: Appendixes
This section contains information on device-driver customization, problem-solving,
help and service, and product warranty and notices.
Appendix A. Customizing device-driver
configuration settings
This section contains optional configuration information for the 8Xmax DVD-ROM
Drive Option Diskette device drivers for Windows 3.x, DOS, OS/2, Windows 98 and
Windows 95. Use the online help during the installation and refer to the READ.ME
file on the 8Xmax DVD-ROM Drive Option Diskette for additional information.
Note: After you install the 8Xmax DVD-ROM Drive Option Diskette, you can use a
DOS session in Windows 3.x, DOS, OS/2, Windows 98, Windows 95, and
Windows NT to access the drive as a data DVD-ROM drive or as a CD-ROM
drive.
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 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=
statement on one line in the CONFIG.SYS file.)
The following parameter specifies the location (drive and directory) and name of the
device driver file.
[drive:][path]IBMIDECD.SYS
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
