ASPI CD-ROM Driver Command Line Options
INICD.SYS is a DOS device driver for supporting SCSI CD-ROM drives. It
is the interface between MSCDEX.EXE (supplied by Microsoft
®
) and the physi-
cal CDROM drive. INICD.SYS is automatically loaded in the CONFIG.SYS
start up file by the ASUS DOSSETUP or SETUP programs. INICD.SYS re-
quires that the ASUS ASPI Manager be loaded. INICD.SYS can be loaded
with either the DEVICE= or DEVICEHIGH= command. INICD.SYS can be
found on PCI-SIU2 DRIVER DISK. Below is a list of command line options
and examples.
/D: /d:
This option is used to specify the name of the device driver. The
name specified must also be passed to MSCDEX.EXE on it’s
command line (Using the same /D: or /d: option). The name speci-
fied must be 8 or less characters in length. Valid characters are
the A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and underscore. The name must start with a
letter.
Examples:
/D:INICD001
/d:mscd001
/d:MYCD01
/T /t
This option is used to specify a Time out value to be used when
sending commands to a CDROM drive. If a CDROM drive does
not respond to a command within the specified time out then the
command will be aborted and an appropriate error message will
be displayed. The time out value is specified in minutes. Valid
values are 1-9 and D or d. The D or d values are used to Disable
the time out mechanism. If the time out mechanism is disabled
then faulty hardware can lock up the system.
Examples:
/T4
/Td
/TD
/T1
