When the CD-ROM device driver is installed in your computer,
UINSTALL automatically modifies the CONFIG.SYS file or the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The following are the parameters for the
CD-ROM device driver.

This is the CD-ROM device driver (IBMTPCD.SYS). Make sure
this line is inserted after the EMM386 statement.
/R
Enables the resident type device driver. Even when the
CD-ROM drive is not installed at power-on, the device
driver can be loaded in the memory.

parameter is set, the cache size in the XMS memory is
512 sectors. When it is not set, the default is 0.
[/S]
Sets the power-saving mode to OFF. When using DOS
with another operating system (for example, when using
it with OS/2 in dual boot), set the power-saving mode to
OFF using this parameter.
