To install the CD-ROM device driver, the syntax in CONFIG.SYS
is as follows:

DEVICE=VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:MSCD001 [/P:xxx,yy]

where [/P:xxx,yy]
specifies the IDE port which is connected to the drive and the
interrupt request.

'xxx' is the base address (hexadecimal notation) of IDE port.
xxx = 1f0 : Port 1
170 : Port 2
1e8 : Port 3
168 : Port 4

'yy' is the interrupt number (decimal notation) of the
corresponding IDE port.

For example, when eight drives are installed, the command
line in the CONFIG.SYS file could be entered as follows:

DEVICE=VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:1f0,14 /P:170,15 /P:1e8,12 /P:168,10

NOTE:

Our device driver will automatically search the drives for 4 ports
up to 8 drives, and the ports are 0x1f0, 0x170, 0x1e8 and 0x168 with
interrupt number 14, 15, 12 and 10 as default, respectively. If your
IDE ports and their respective interrupt numbers are the same as
those mentioned above, you don't have to specify them verbosely.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

To enable the CD-ROM drive to read CD-ROM discs using the High
Sierra or ISO 9660 format, you not only need to install the CD-ROM
device driver, but also need to insert the following line into your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

MSCDEX /D:MSCD001

To have a detail knowledge about the MSCDEX.EXE program, please
refer to MS-DOS user manual.

Q. Why cannot I do a directory (dir) on a good ISO-9660 format disc
on my CD-ROM drive although it is ready?
A. Your CD-ROM drive might work on PIO mode zero only. When your PC
system is configured in a faster IDE interface mode, this CD-ROM
drive might get this kind of communication problem. The solution
will be that you have to turn down the the interface speed
between the CD-ROM drive and your PC system through BIOS or
interface card setting. After the configuration is changed, you
need to reboot the system.

Q. Why is it slow to read files for my CD-ROM. How to get it faster?
A. The MSCDEX.EXE allocates memory for caching information on the
CD-ROM. You can set the /M: to determine how many sector
buffers MSCDEX allocates when it installs itself. Typically, each
drive should have a minimum 4-5 buffers per drive and the higher
this value is, the better the drive performance would be.

Q. I have an enhanced IDE card with two ports, but I cannot install the
CD-ROM drive on the secondary port properly.
A. The secondary port on some enhanced IDE card (eg. CMD0640x) is left
un-opened when the PC system is initially powered on. Under such a
condition, the CD-ROM device driver will not act stably when this
CD-ROM drive installed. To resolve this problem, you can install
the device driver bundled with your enhanced IDE card to open the
secondary port.

Q. The SKIP button doesn't skip while a 'CD PLAYER' like program is
playing.
A. Based upon the design philosophy of this CD-ROM drive, the application
program has a higher priority than the manual pressing buttons so
that the interference between "manual pressing button" and
"application program" can be avoided. Therefore, during play under
application program, the CD-ROM drive will not respond when the
"SKIP" button is pressed. Besides, the tray will be opened when the
"STOP" button is pressed.
