MANUAL INSTALLATION
You may also manually install the CD-421 device driver if the default
setting conflicts with your system. Perform the following procedure to
complete the manual installation.
1. Copy the files EXPCDI.EXE from the CD-421 device driver disk to
your hard disk.
2. Add “
LASTDRIVE=Z
” to the TOP of your CONFIG.SYS file. If you
already have a LASTDRIVE line with a letter other than Z, change it
to Z.
3. Add the following lines to the BOTTOM of your CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=
drive:\path
\EXPCDI.EXE /P:1 /I:15 /D:MSCD001
where
drive:\path
specifies the directory containing the file
EXPCDI.EXE.
Note: If your CONFIG.SYS file is already loaded with PCMCIA software,
such as Cardsoft of SystemSoft or Cardtalk of Databook, it is necessary
to add the above line AFTER the PCMCIA software. Otherwise, the
PCMCIA interface card will not be initialized properly. To make sure if
any PCMCIA software has been loaded in your system and to know
more about PCMCIA(PC Card), please refer to the section titled
“PCMCIA Software Information”.
EXPCDI.EXE is the device driver for the CD-421. The parameters of
EXPCDI.EXE are described as below:
/P
is used to set the I/O ports, and the valid numbers are 1, 2, and 3.
Each number represents the I/O port pairs of (170-177, 376-377);
(1E8-1EF, 3EE-3EF), and (168-16F, 36E-36F) respectively. The
default setting is
/P:1
.
/I
is used to set the IRQ number. The valid IRQs are 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10,
11, 12 and 15, and the default setting is
/I:15
.
/D
is used to set the device name. It can be any name up to 8
characters. This name must be the same as the name you will
specify in the MSCDEX.EXE option /D: name in the next step.
