The SIDEjr L DOS Driver (Ver1.4A)
===========================================================================
This diskette contains SIDEjr L's DOS/Windows/OS2 drivers. The basic
installation process for DOS/Windows is as follows:
a. At the DOS prompt, type "a:install".
Or
b. For DOS, Use your text edit program (ex: EDLIN.COM or EDIT.COM) to add the
following line in your DOS CONFIG.SYS.
device=[drive:][path]JRL001.sys <options>
where the options are:
/ND Without <F10> Utility entrance on the screen during
DOS driver startup and the utility is not avaliable.
( An IDE configuration utility is included at default
of driver for understanding this product. The utility
provide a user-friendly interface with menus and
on-line help)
/OPTI The driver will execute the OPTIMIZE for HDD(s)
/N13 The driver doesn't control the INT13 for HDD
/CS Use single read/write IDE command rather than block
mode multiple read/write commands. (For C Drive)
/DS Use single read/write IDE command rether than block
mode multiple read/write commands. (For D Drive)
/CN03 Disable the Mode 3 support for C drive
/DN03 Disable the Mode 3 support for D drive
/SWAP Swap Floppy A and B,(you also have to change the CMOS
setting)
/CLK=xx Enable user defined CPU clock.
This option allows user to specify the CPU clock speed
and the driver will not detect the CPU clock speed.
The basic clock is assigned by parameter xx, xx = 20,
25,28,33,40,50. (for DX2-50 xx=25, DX2-66 xx=33,
DX2-80 xx=40, DX4-75 xx=25, DX4-100 xx=33, etc.)
/CT=XX,[YY] Enable user defined Timing modes. When this option is
specified, the driver will not detect the IDE Timing
Mode. Then the driver sets up the HDD and the Local
Bus IDE controller for the user specified timing.
'XX' specfies the Read Timing value, 'YY' specfies the
Write Timing value. X=0,1,,,F. (For C Drive)
(IDE Access Cycle Timing = ((X+X)*(1/CPU_Clock))
| |--Recovery Time Unit
|____Active Time Unit
/DT=XX,[YY] Same purpose as /CT=xx,[yy] for D drive
WARNING: Disk access may be unreliable if the /CLK ,/CT or /DT
is incorrectly specified. If you are unsure your CPU speed of driver
detected or the IDE HDD's Timing Mode. Hit <F10> during driver startup
for getting more information.
For default operation, no command line options are necessary for the
DOS driver. The optional driver parameter will be of interest only to
power users.
c. For Windows, Use your text edit program (ex: EDLIN.COM or EDIT.COM) to
modify your SYSTEM.INI file in your windows directory as following.(Before
you modifiy the SYSTEM.INI, please backup it first.)
