Stereo Sound & CD-ROM
Step 2.
Add the following line to the file "AUTOEXEC.BAT" under
your boot hard disk root-directory (Drive C in general).
O [drive:][path] MSCDEX
[/Didevice name]
[/M:n] [/E] [/V]
[/L
i drive letter]
NOTE:
The above command line in the autoexec.bat file should be
placed entirely on one line.
[drive:] [path] MSCDEX.EXE
Specifies the location (drive and directory) of the
MSCDEX.EXE file. The default setting is the CDROM
directory of the boot drive
/Didevice name
Specifies the name of the CD-ROM drive (8 characters
maximum). This must be identical to the device name
specified in the device driver in the CONFIG.SYS file. For
example:
O C:\CDROM\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000
[/M:n]
Specifies the number of sector buffers for temporary storage
of the most recent disc data. For example to specify ten
sector buffers you would use:
O C:\CDROM\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000 /M:10
The installation program will set this value to 10.
The default value is 4.
NOTE:
The greater this value , the better the CD-ROM drive
will perform. However, each buffer uses about 2K of
memory and specifying too many buffers may slow
down computer operation or interfere with other
programs which have large memory usage
requirements. Using expanded memory (see the
ÍE
option in this section) or loading
MSCDEX.EXE
into
high memory (refer to your MS-DOS Users Manual or
Memoiy Manager Users Manual) may allow you to
