/P:xxx,yy
This parameter specifies the address and interrupt level of the port to which the
IDE CD-ROM drive is connected.
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=
statement 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 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 is n=0. You might use this parameter if you want to
secure your CD in the drive.
/L:xx
This parameter specifies the message language, where xx designates the
language.
