screen to the OS/2 Setup and Installation window
i. Select Install
j. When prompted to do so, insert the numbered installation diskettes
or installation CD-ROM from the OS/2 2.1 product.

3. If you have changed the base I/O port address on your CD-ROM
host adapter card you must edit your CONFIG.SYS file and add
modify the /P:nnnn parameter on the BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD statement in
your CONFIG.SYS file. Refer to the "GoldStar Device Driver Parameters"
section below.

4. Shut down and restart your system

Installation from the CD-ROM version of OS/2 2.1
------------------------------------------------

1. Make a copy of the OS/2 2.1 diskette labeled "Diskette 1"

2. Copy the file GSCDROM.ADD from the "GoldStar CD-ROM Device Driver
Diskette" to the root directory on the copy of the OS/2 2.1 Diskette 1.

(Note: If there is not enough room on the copy of OS/2 2.1
Diskette 1, then delete the file IBM2SCSI.ADD. If you delete
IBM2SCSI.ADD, you must also edit the CONFIG.SYS file and delete
the line BASEDEV=IBM2SCSI.ADD)

3. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file located on the copy of Diskette 1.
At the end of the file, add the following statement.

BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD /P:nnn

where "/P:nnn" is the base I/O port address selected on the
CD-ROM host interface card. The default base I/O port address
for the GoldStar GCD-R420 interface card is 340h, so the statement
would appear as follows if the card is set to address 340h:

BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD /P:340

4. Begin the installation by inserting the Installation Diskette
into drive A and restarting the system. When prompted to insert
Diskette 1, insert the copy that you modifed.

5. When the System Configuration screen is displayed during installation,
the CD-ROM Device Support field will display "None". Do not modify
the choice and continue with the installation.

6. After installation is complete, and you have rebooted your system,
you will not be able to access your CD-ROM drive. This is due
to a defect in the OS/2 2.1 install program. To access your
CD-ROM drive, perform the following steps:

a. Copy the following files from the OS/2 2.1 Diskette 1
to the drive which OS/2 was installed.
(Note: the example assume C:, change if different)

COPY A:OS2CDROM.DMD C:\OS2
COPY A:CDFS.IFS C:\OS2

b. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on drive which OS/2 was installed
and add the following statements to the end of the file:
(Note: the example assume C:, change if different)

DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q

c. Shut down and reboot the system

7. You will need to run Selective Install to copy over some remaining
system files.

a. Open the OS/2 System folder on the desktop.
b. Open the System Setup folder.
c. Open Selective Install
d. Select the CD-ROM Device Support check box
e. Select OK
f. Scroll to the bottom of the CD-ROM device list table and
select the choice OTHER
g. Select OK
h. Select the OK push button to proceed from the System Configuration
screen to the OS/2 Setup and Installation window
i. Select Install
j. When prompted to do so, insert the installation CD-ROM
from the OS/2 2.1 product.

Installation from the diskette version of OS/2 2.1
--------------------------------------------------

1. Install the OS/2 2.1 product from the diskettes

2. Go to the section above titled "Installation if OS/2 2.1 is already
installed on your fixed disk".

+-----------------------------------+
| GoldStar Device Driver Parameters |
+-----------------------------------+

This section lists the parameters which are supported for the
GoldStar CD-ROM device driver. The parameters can be changed by modifying
the BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD line in config.sys.

For the GSCDROM.ADD device driver, the syntax for the line in config.sys
is as follows:

BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD [/P:nnn]

[/P:nnn]

Specifies the base I/O port address of the interface card. The
port address is specified as a three digit hex value. Leading
zeros should be NOT specified. The value must be the same number as
the port address selected by the jumper on the host interface card.

If this parameter is not specified, the default port address for the
host adapter is used. For the GoldStar GCD-R420 host interface card,
the default is 340.

See the section below titled "GoldStar GCD-R420 Host Adapter
Jumper Settings".

GoldStar GCD-R420 Device Driver Parameter Examples
---------------------------------------------------

1. GoldStar GCD-R420 CD-ROM drive attached to GoldStar GCD-R420 host adapter:

The GoldStar GCD-R420 host adapter supports base I/O port addresses of
320h, 330h, 340h or 360h. If the GCD-R420 host adapter is set to any
port address other than the default of 340h, the config.sys statement
needs to be modified. For example, if the GoldStar GCD-R420 host adapter is
set to a base I/O port address of 360, the line in config.sys should be:

BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD /P:360

| Trouble shooting |
+------------------+

1. If you are not able to access the CD-ROM drive:

a. Add the /V parameter switch to the BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD statement
in your CONFIG.SYS file. For example:

BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD /P:340 /V

After rebooting, the device driver will display the list of
drives it has identified. For example:

IBM OS/2 GSCDROM.ADD 1.00
GoldStar CD-ROM GCD-R420 1.00 Port: 340 Units: 0 IRQ: Polled

If no units were detected, the following message is displayed:

IBM OS/2 GSCDROM.ADD 1.00
No units detected.

If no units were detected, see step 1b below.
If units were detected, see step 1c below.

b. Make sure the Base I/O Port Address specified by the /B parameter
in the config.sys file matches the Base Port Address selected
with the DIP switch on the interface card.

The default Base I/O Port Address for the GoldStar GCD-R420 interface
card is address 340h. If you have changed the Base I/O Port Address on
the card, you must change the /B parameter on the BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD
statement in config.sys.

For example, if you changed the Base I/O Port Address to 360h, the
statement in config.sys should be as follows:

BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD /P:360

c. Make sure all the required files to operate the CD-ROM drive have
been installed. You should have the appropriate BASEDEV=
statement in CONFIG.SYS for your CD-ROM device driver. You
should also have the following statements for the CD-ROM system
files in your config.sys:

DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
IFS=C:\OS2\CDFS.IFS /Q
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCDROM.SYS
BASEDEV=GSCDROM.ADD /P:340

If you do not have the above statements in your config.sys, you
must use the OS/2 2.1 Selective Install to install the CD-ROM
support files.

2. If the drive letter assigned to the CD-ROM drive under OS/2 is
different than the drive letter assigned under DOS.

The CD-ROM drive is assigned the next available drive
letter after drive letters have been assigned for the
floppy drives and fixed disk drives.

The drive letter is also assigned after any installable block
device drivers which are located in config.sys before the
DEVICE=C:\OS2\OS2CDROM.DMD statement (i.e. DEVICE=C:\OS2\VDISK.SYS).

There is currently no mechanism in OS/2 for assigning a specific
drive letter for the CD-ROM drive. The drive letter assignment
under DOS can be controlled by using the /L switch on MSCDEX.EXE
command line.

+--------------------+
| Reporting Problems |
+--------------------+

Defect reports should include the following information:

CD-ROM Product ID:
CD-ROM Firmware Level:
Device Driver Transfer Mode:
Host CPU type and speed: (i.e. 25MZ 486)

The CD-ROM product ID and firmware level can be displayed at
boot time by adding the /V switch to the DEVICE=OS2CDROM.DMD line
in config.sys. For example, the following line may be displayed at boot
time after the OS/2 logo screen is displayed(case of unit 0):

IBM OS/2 GSCDROM.ADD 1.00
0 GOLDSTAR CD-ROM GCD-R420
