Software Parameters in the CONFIG.SYS File
When the CD-ROM device driver is installed in your computer, UINSTALL automatically modifies the CONFIG.SYS file. The following are the parameters for the CD-ROM device driver:
DEVICE=[drive:][path]IBMTPCD.SYS [/C]
IBMTPCD.SYS is the CD-ROM device driver. Make sure this line is inserted after the EMM386 statement.
[/C] Sets the cache size in the XMS memory. When this parameter is set, the cache size in the XMS memory is 512 sectors. When it is not set, the default is 0.
Note: Do not specify the [/R] parameter for this option.
[drive:][path]MSCDEX.EXE /D:TPCD 1
[/M:n][/E][/V][/L:x]
The Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions program (MSCDEX.EXE), for MS-DOS Version 3.11 or later, works with the IBMTPCD.SYS device driver to allow your computer to access the CD-ROM drive, where options can be: /D Specifies the name of the CD-ROM drive, TPCD001.
[/M:n] Specifies the number of sector buffers to store the most recent disc data temporarily. The default is n=4.
[/E] Specifies that the computer will use expanded memory, if available.
[/V] Displays on the computer screen a summary of RAM allocation and expanded memory usage at power-on.
/L:x] Specifies the drive letter (represented here by x) for the CD-ROM drive. Do not assign a drive letter already used by another drive; otherwise, the computer cannot access the CD-ROM drive.
Software Parameters in the AUTOEXEC.BAT File
The following describes about the SMARTDRV parameter in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
SMARTDRV
If you are using DOS SMARTDRV caches and are planning to use a photo CD or multiple session discs, add the /U parameter to the SMARTDRV line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This is because photo CDs or multiple session discs are not compatible with the SMARTDRV caches.
If you are planning to play CD-i movies, do not cache the CD-ROM drive with SMARTDRV Version 5.0 or 5.1, which is supplied with PC DOS Version 7.0.
