You must now exit the program and REBOOT your computer for the settings to take effect.
If you decide to change your current CD-ROM options, you need to run
SNDINIT.EXE
again. Each
time you make changes to your configuration, your CONFIG.SYS file must be updated again.
The
SNDINIT.EXE
program will only make changes to the Config.sys line that begins with:
DEVICE=C:\SOUND16\CDSETUP.SYS . . .
If you have changed your CD-ROM drive, your CD-ROM manufacturer will have recommended changes
for its own CD-ROM device drivers that you must follow. Refer to your CD-ROM drive’s user manual
for more information.
Installing the MSCDEX Driver
Your CD-ROM will require that the proper MSCEX driver is loaded on system boot-up. During installation,
the HOT-233/HOT-239 installation program will
take several steps to insure that the proper MSCDEX is
used for your system.
1.
First, the HOT-233/HOT-239 installation program will look at your Autoexec.bat file for an exist-
ing MSCDEX driver. If it finds it it, will use it.
2.
If it doesn't find it there, it will scan your hard drive to find the
MSCDEX.EXE program. Usu-
ally this will be found with you DOS operating system programs. If the HOT-233/HOT-239 instal-
lation program finds the MSCDEX.EXE program it will use it. If more than one copy of
MSCDEX.EXE exist on your system, the HOT-233/HOT-239 installation program will display
all known files on your system, and ask you to select the one you want to use.
3.
The HOT-233/HOT-239 comes with three MSCDEX drivers. If
MSCDEX.EXE
is not found on your
system, the HOT-233/HOT-239 installation program will check your DOS version (DOS 5.0, 6.0
and 6.2) , then copy and install the
MSCDEX.EXE
program which will work best with your system.
4.
If the HOT-233/HOT-239 installation program determines that your DOS version is earlier than
5.0, it will request that you use the MSCDEX program that came with your CD-ROM drive (avail-
able from your CD-ROM manufacturer). The following line will be added to your autoexec.bat
file:
REM C:\SOUND16\MSCDEX.EXE (
or
REM C:\OPTi930\MSCDEX.EXE )
When you copy the proper
MSCDEX.EXE
program that works with your CD-ROM into the
C:\SOUND16
subdirectory, edit the above line in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file by removing the word
"
REM
" so that the line looks as follows:
C:\SOUND16\MSCDEX.EXE (
or
REM C:\OPTi930\MSCDEX.EXE )
The proper
MSCDEX.EXE
program will then be loaded when you re-boot your system.
The HOT-233/HOT-239 CD-ROM Interface
There are four CD-ROM interface connectors on the HOT-233/HOT-239, supporting Sony, Mitsumi,
Panasonic and IDE CD-ROM drives.
Note:
You should have your CD-ROM drive user guide handy during this installation. It may have
information not covered here.
