Mitsumi Device Driver Parameters

The parameters for the following CD-ROM adapter device drivers are described in this section:

MITFX001.ADD

This device driver supports the following CD-ROM drives:

Mitsumi CRMC-FX001D
Mitsumi CRMC-FX001
Mitsumi CRMC-LU005S
Mitsumi CRMC-LU002S
BSR 6800
Tandy CDR-1000

This section lists the parameters which are supported for the Mitsumi CD-ROM device driver. The parameters can be changed by modifying the BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD line in config.sys. It is recommended to change the transfer mode from it default, software polling transfer, to software interrupt transfer. This will help lower the CPU utilization of CD-ROM applications, enabling better performance for other tasks while the CD-ROM drive is being accessed. See the /I parameter below.

For the MITFX001.ADD device driver, the syntax for the line in config.sys is as follows:

BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD [/P:nnn] [I:nn] [/V]
   [/P:nnn]
     Specifies the base I/O port address of the interface card.
     This must be the same number as specified by the DIP switch
     on the interface card.
   [/I:nn]
     Specifies the interrupt request (IRQ) channel number.  This must
     match the value specified on the jumper setting on the interface
     card.  If this parameter is not specified, the device driver will
     use software polling transfer.
   [/V]
     The device driver will display the device driver revision level
     and CD-ROM product information at boot time.

Mitsumi CD-ROM Device Driver Parameter Examples

1. Mitsumi CD-ROM drive attached to Mitsumi host adapter:

If the Mitsumi host adapter is set to a base I/O port address of 320, the line in config.sys should be:

BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD  /P:320

2. Mitsumi CD-ROM drive attached to Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 MultiCD

If the Mitsumi CD-ROM port on the Sound Blaster 16 MultiCD is set to I/O port address of 340, the line in config.sys should be:

BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD  /P:340

3. To enable interrupt transfer mode, which improves performance, the /I parameter must be specified. For example to enable interrupt transfer mode for IRQ channel 10 at I/O port address of 320h, the line in config.sys should appear as follows:

BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD  /P:320 /I:10

Known Problems

The Diamond Viper video card and the Mitsumi host adapter conflict at port address 300h, which is the default port address of the Mitsumi card. The result is a messed up display screen. The user should change the port address on the Mitsumi card from 300h to another address, i.e. 310h, and add the /P parm to the BASEDEV=MITFX001.ADD statement in config.sys.

Sony 31A Device Driver Parameters

This section lists the parameters which are supported for the Sony CD-ROM device driver. The parameters can be changed by modifying the BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD line in config.sys. It is recommended to change the transfer mode from it default, software polling transfer, to software interrupt transfer. This will help lower the CPU utilization of CD-ROM applications, enabling better performance for other tasks while the CD-ROM drive is being accessed. See the /I parameter below.

For the SONY31A.ADD device driver, the syntax for the line in config.sys is as follows:

BASEDEV=SONY31A.ADD [/A:d] [/AT:dd] [/P:nnn] [I:nn] [/V]

[/A:d]
     Identifies a specific adapter, d.  The adapter is specified as
     a single digit value which is zero based.  (i.e. The first adapter
     is specified as /A:0).
[/AT:dd]
     Sets the adapter type connected to the CD-ROM drive.
     Supported values are:
               00 = Sony CDB-334 (default)

                     - Orchid SoundWave 32
                     - Orchid GameWave 32
                     - Cardinal DSP16
               08 = Media Vision ProAudio Spectrum-16
[/P:nnnn]
     Specifies the base I/O port address of the interface card.  The
     port address is specified as a four digit hex value.  Leading
     zeros should be specified.  The value must be the same number as
     the port address selected by the jumper on the host interface card.
     If this parameter is not specified, the default port address for the
     host adapter is used.  For the Sony CDB-334 host interface card,
     the default is 0340.  For the Media Vision ProAudio Spectrum-16 card
     the default is 1F88.
     See the section below titled "Sony CDB-334 Host Adapter
     Jumper Settings".
[/I:nn]
     Specifies the interrupt request (IRQ) channel number.  This must
     match the value specified on the jumper setting on the interface
     card. If this parameter is not specified, the device driver will use
     software polling transfer.  See the section below titled
     "Sony CDB-334 Host Adapter Jumper Settings".  This parameter
     switch is not supported if the CD-ROM drive is attached to the
     Media Vision ProAudio spectrum.
     Note: Some Sony CDB-334 host adapter cards did not ship with the
           plastic jumper switch to select the IRQ channel on the IRQ
           jumper block.  You must obtain and install the plastic jumper

     Valid values for Y are 8,..., 26.  The default is 16.  Any value below
     the minimum (8) will be assigned the minimum (8).
[/V]
     The device driver will display the device driver revision level
     and CD-ROM product information at boot time.

For example,

IBM OS/2 LMS205.ADD 1.00  02-NOV-93
Philips LMS Unit 0: CM205 CDROM drive, FR4, CM260 HA Port: 0340 IRQ: 05

Philips LMS 206 Device Driver Parameters

The parameters for the following CD-ROM adapter device drivers are described in this section:

LMS206.ADD

This device driver supports the following CD-ROM drives:

Philips LMS CM205MS,CM225MS  (multisession photo CD version of CM205)
Philips LMS CM206,CM226

This section lists the parameters which are supported for the Philips LMS CD-ROM device driver. The parameters can be changed by modifying the BASEDEV=LMS206.ADD line in config.sys.

For the LMS206.ADD device driver, the syntax for the line in config.sys is as follows:

BASEDEV=LMS206.ADD [/P:nnn] [/u:X] [/m:Y] [/V]
[/P:nnn]
     Specifies the base I/O port address of the interface card.
     The value must be the same number as the port address selected
     by the jumper on the host interface card.
[/u:]
     Identifies a specific unit, X.
     Valid values for X are 0, 1, 2, 3.  The default is zero.
     LMS206 locates all CM250 and CM260 host adapters and assigns unit
     numbers based on the order in which each was found.
     This parameter tells LMS206 which BASEDEV=LMS206.ADD line it is
     currently processing.
[/m:]
     Indicates the number of 2500 byte CD frame buffers that should
     be allocated by the LMS206.ADD driver.
     Valid values for Y are 8,..., 26.  The default is 16.  Any value below
     the minimum (8) will be assigned the minimum (8).
[/v]
     The device driver will display the device driver revision level
     and CD-ROM product information at boot time.
