Stereo Sound & CD-ROM
Specifies the location (drive and directory) of the MSCDEXEXE
file. The default setting is the BIN directory of the boot drive
/Didevice name
Specifies the name of the CD-ROM drive (8 characters maximum).
This must be identical to the device name specified in the device
driver in the CONFIG.SYS file. For example:
O C:\BIN\MSCDEX.EXE /DrMSCDOOO
[/M:n]
Specifies the number of sector buffers for temporary storage of
the most recent disc data. For example to specify ten sector
buffers you would use:
O C:\BIN\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000 /M:10
The installation program will set this value to 10.
The default value is 4.
NOTE:
The greater this value , the better the CD-ROM drive will
perform. However, each buffer uses about 2K of memory and
specifying too many buffers may slow down computer operation
or interfere with other programs which have large memory usage
requirements. Using expanded memory (see the /E option in this
section) or loading
MSCDEX.EXE
into high memory (refer to
your MS-DOS Users Manual or Memory Manager Users
Manual) may allow you to specify a larger number of buffers to
enhance CD-ROM performance and operate programs with large
memory usage requirements simultaneously.
l/E]
Instructs the computer to use expanded memory, if available. For
example:
O C:\BIN\MSCDEXEXE /D:MSCD000 /E
Note that you must first load an expanded memory driver before
using this option. If no expanded memory driver is load, the
following error message appears:
Expanded memory not present or not usable
