DR-UA124X Installation Manual
1.1 Adding the CD-ROM to a configuration with one IDE Hard Disk
Set DR-UA124X to SL(Slave mode) by setting a jumper on the rear side. Make sure
the Hard Disk is set to IDE Master mode(Check your Hard Disk's documentation
for details).
1.2 CD-ROM only connection to IDE card
MA(Master mode) or SL(Slave mode) are both valid settings. In some case only SL
mode will work reliably because of the system BIOS.
2.1 MS-DOS
If your OS is MS-DOS ( or IBM PC-DOS) , then perform the following steps :
2.1.1 copy from Floppy disk
Copy the file ATAPI_CD.SYS to your Hard disk.
2.1.2 Modify CONFIG.SYS
After Connecting the CD-ROM drive and copying the device driver to the Hard
Disk, add the following line to CONFIG.SYS :
DEVICE=C:\ATAPI_CD.SYS
LASTDRIVE=Z
Valid options for this device driver are listed below. In most cases however,
you don't need to specify any options. In case no options are specified, the
driver will search for the DR-UA124X automatically. If the device driver
loads successfully but the CD-ROM can't be accessed, you must specify the
LASTDRIVE line in CONFIG.SYS.
Setting device driver options :
e.g. :
DEVICE=C:\ATAPI_CD.SYS /S:1 /D:MSCD001
[Option]
/S:x ------> CD-ROM Drive ID.
This determines the setting of the drive to Master or Slave and the connection
to the Primary or Secondary IDE channel.
x = 0: Master Drive on Primary IDE Channel
1: Slave Drive on Primary IDE Channel
2: Master Drive on Secondary IDE Channel
3: Slave Drive on Secondary IDE Channel
/D: ******* --> CD-ROM Device name
e.g.: /D:PIONEER
If you do not specify this option, a default CD-ROM Device name is used : "MSCD001".
In case you copied the device driver to a sub-directory, specify the FULL
PATH name in the "DEVICE=..... " line in CONFIG.SYS.
2.1.3 Modify AUTOEXEC.BAT
Add the following line to AUTOEXEC.BAT.
e.g. : MSCDEX.EXE /D:PIONEER
Make sure the CD-ROM Device name is same as in CONFIG.SYS : "/D:PIONEER".
(In case you didn't specify this option in CONFIG.SYS, specify : "/D:MSCD001")
2.2 MS-Windows
In case the DR-UA124X is connected to the Primary IDE Channel and the IDE Hard
Disk is set to Master mode, the 32bitDiskAccess parameter in the Windows
SYSTEM.INI file should set to OFF.
This can be achieved in two ways :
Double-click Control Panels, then double-click 386Enhanced and uncheck
the 32bitDiskAccess checkbox. Click OK and restart.
Experienced users can edit the SYSTEM.INI file in the Windows directory :
32bitDiskAccess=OFF
2.3 Windows NT Ver 3.5
After connecting the DR-UA124X to the primary IDE Channel in Slave mode or to
the secondary IDE Channel in Master Mode (if you have connected the two hard
disk to the primary IDE Channel),install Windows NT. Then the CD-ROM drive will
be automatically recognized.
If you are adding the DR-UA124X to an existing Windows NT installation, refer
to the section of "New device driver installation" in the Windows NT documentation.
