----------------------------- REXCD.SYS parameter ------------------------------
REXCD.SYS is a CD-ROM driver based on ASPI manager for DOS.
Format: DEVICE = <directory path>: \ REXCD.SYS [/D:<Device name>][/U:1]
[/ScanID:id + id + …… ] [/NoScanID: id + id + ……][/N:1][/E][/HA:0]
[/NoPreFetch]
Parameter
[/D:<Device name>] Set your CD-ROM device name.Use the same name written after /D: at
MSCDEX.EXE in Autoexec.bat file.
[/U:1] If you connect only one SCSI CD-ROM drive, be sure to set /U:1.
If you don’t set anything to this parameter, all SCSI CD-ROM drives will
be registered after searching SCSI ID from 0 to 6.
[/ScanID:id + id + …… ] If you don’t set anything to this parameter, REXCD.SYS searches SCSI ID
from 0 to 6 to find the SCSI CD-ROM connected to the CB32U.
But, if you set this parameter like /ScanID:0+1, REXCD.SYS skips searching
SCSI ID from 2 to 6.
[/NoScanID: id + id + …] If you set this parameter like /NoScanID:5+6, REXCD.SYS skips searching
SCSI ID 5 and 6.
[/N:1]
If you set this parameter, REXCD.SYS will not search Logical Unit for SCSI
CD-ROM drives. REXCD.SYS finds logical drive number of CD-ROM drives,
searching Logical Unit No from 0 to 7. But there are some old types of CD-
ROM drives having trouble when REXCD.SYS accesses to the CD-ROM
drives with the Logical Unit No except 0. In this case, set this parameter /N:1.
Don’t set this parameter when you use drives which need to be set for Logical
Unit like CD-Changers.
[/E]
Be sure to set this parameter /E
[/HA:0] Set Host Adapter number. If you don’t set anything to this parameter, 0 is set.
[/NoPreFetch] If you set this parameter, Prefetch command is not issued to SCSI drives.
If you use CD-R drives named CD-R824SK, CD-R56S made by TEAC, be
sure to set this parameter.
