This is the release of the Always Technology CD-ROM driver version 
VCN:330-8.  Please follow the instructions below for installation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

        ALWAYS now provides an ASPI manager for the IN-2000.  With
        this manager you may install popular software that includes
        ASPI support, including CorelSCSI (available from ALWAYS).
        If you plan to support you CD-Drive(s) using ASPI compatible
        software DO NOT install this non-ASPI CD-ROM driver.  If you
        have both the CDROM.SYS and ASPI.SYS in your "CONFIG.SYS"
        your system will "hang".  If you have CDROM.SYS in your
        "CONFIG.SYS" and you wish to upgrade to ASPI support, then
        delete the CDROM.SYS from "CONFIG.SYS".

Please check with the Always BBS for updates to this driver.
The Always BBS can be reached at (818) 597-0275.  This version
of the driver has been tested to support audio operations with
the following CD-ROM drives:

        Chinon CDS-431; NEC CDR-36, 74 & 84; Sony CDU-541
        Texel DM-3024 & 5024; Toshiba XM-3201B & 3301B

In this release, Windows Media player might not work with the
Chinon drive. 

Additionally, customers have reported success using this driver with
other CD-ROM drives.  If you test with a drive not on this list, 
please let us know the manufacturer and model number of the drive.

Attach the CD-ROM drive to your system, as described in your CD-ROM 
installation guide.  Pay particular attention to avoid SCSI ID
conflicts. Ensure that the SCSI bus is correctly terminated (refer to the IN-2000 installation guide).  The drive must be attached and powered on when the driver is loaded, in order to access the drive.

Using CD-ROMs under DOS requires two separate "drivers".  The first
driver is the adapter interface (CDROM.SYS) included on this disk.  
The other "driver" is the Microsoft CD Extensions (MSCDEX.EXE), and 
is supplied by your drive manufacturer, or may be obtained from
the MS-BBS (206) 637-9009, in the windows library.

To install the driver, copy the CDROM.SYS file to the root directory
and add the following line to your system's CONFIG.SYS file:

     DEVICE=C:\CDROM.SYS [/D:name]

Note that the parameter /D:name is optional, and allows you to
assign a different name to the driver.  The default name is
"ALWAYSCD".  The name assigned is used later when loading MSCDEX to
identify a driver to the MSCDEX utility.  After adding the above
line, you must reboot your system for the change to take affect.

When the driver is loaded by DOS, a message will be displayed,
giving the driver name, and version.  The number of CD-ROM drives
will then be displayed.  If the driver states that no drives have
been found, verify the installation, and check that power to the
drive is on.  After correcting the problem, reboot the machine. 
The drive must be found at boot time and reported by the driver to
be accessable.

Once the system is running, and a DOS prompt is displayed, you must
load the Microsoft CD Extensions (MSCDEX).  At the DOS prompt, type
the following line:

     MSCDEX /D:ALWAYSCD

Alternatively, you may add the above line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so
MSCDEX is automatically loaded at boot time.

If you changed the default driver name (using the /D:name option)
in your CONFIG.SYS file, use the same name here, in place of
"ALWAYSCD".
 
MSCDEX will display the drive letter(s) assigned to your CD-ROM
devices.  Use those letters as you would any other drive letter
under DOS.  MSCDEX has a number of options for controlling data
buffering, which will enhance performance. See the MSCDEX document
for more details.
