INSRUCTIONS FOR CID INSTALLATION FOR CDROM DRIVER --------------------------------------------------- A. Following Drivers will be installed : 1) IBM1S506.ADD 2) OS2CDROM.DMD 3) IBMIDECD.FLT NOTE : i) Above Drivers will be installed only if - 1) No copy exist . 2) Older version of Driver Exists . ii) If entry for CDFS.IFS is not found in config.sys and it exists in target machine it will be added . iii) IBM1S506.ADD will not be installed if PIIXIDE.ADD is present iV) IBMIDECD.FLT will not be installed if PIIXIDE.FLT is present B. INSTALLATION PROGRAM : SYNTAX : cidcd [/s:< Source Drive & Path >] [/t:< Target Drive & Path > ] [/L1:< Log File >] Parameters : /s: :: This option is used to specify Source Drive and/or Path. If this option is not specified then the Program will prompt for Source Drive and/or Path where the Drivers(s) to be installed are present . /t: :: This option is used to specify Target Drive and/or Path. If this option is not specified then the Program will prompt for Target Drive and/or Path where the Driver(s) will be installed. Drive letter of the target drive must be specified . ( In case of network installation specify the target's network drive ) If Target Path is not specified , the Program will assume a default target directory path. /L1: :: This option is used to specify a LogFile where installation information will be kept. If this option is not specified then the Program will display log messages on Screen otherwise Messages will be logged in the specified logfile. if Log file name is given without path and drive it will be created in Target root directory if Log file name is given without drive it will be created with the specified path in the target machine . NOTE : 1). Base Drivers will always be installed in "\OS2\BOOT" Directory of Target machine . ( or \OS2 in case of OS/2 2.X ) 2). If the latest version of the Base Driver exists in the Root Directory the driver will not be installed. 3). If an older version of the Base Driver exists in the Root Directory, it will be deleted and the latest version will be copied to OS2/BOOT directory.( or \OS2 in case of OS/2 2.X ) 4). If the user specifies a Path using "/t" option , the drivers will be copied to the user specified path, otherwise a default Path will be assumed . 5). In case the program is unable to log in the user specified file , it will be displayed on the screen . C. INSTALLATION EXAMPLE : cidcd /s:c:\install\cdrom /t:f: /L1:cdrom.log where c:\install\cdrom is the source directory for drivers existing on the server. f: is the target network drive where the drivers will be installed. ( Default Target Path is assumed ). cdrom.log is the logfile which will be created in the root directory of the target machine. IBM1S506.ADD and IBMIDECD.FLT will be installed in /OS2/BOOT Directory. ( or in \OS2 in case of OS/2 2.X ) OS2CDROM.DMD by default will be also be installed in /OS2/BOOT Directory. ( or in \OS2 in case of OS/2 2.X ) D. RETURN CODES : 0xFE00 : If CID Installation is Successful Reboot and do not invoke again . 0x1604 : Unexpected Condition . This is a severe error condition 0x0812 : Data Path not found . Explanation : Source, Target or LogFile Paths might be incorrect. ########################################################################## INSTALLATION NOTES FOR THE IBM IDE CD-ROM DRIVE Directory --------- 1.0 System-Specific Installation Notes(PC-3xx PC-7x) for OS/2 2.0 CID Install notes 3.0 General Installation 1.0 System-Specific Installation Notes -------------------------------------- If you have an IBM PC-3xx or PC-7xx system and are running the BusMaster DMA device drivers you must follow one of these installation methods. The BusMaster DMA device drivers are PIIXIDE.ADD and/or PIIXIDE.FLT and would be found in config.sys replacing the standard device drivers IBM1S506.add and/or IBMIDECD.FLT . The problem to avoid is having multiple drivers loaded by config.sys due to improper sequence of installation. This can be avoided by following one of the methods below. If you have already used some other installation method, you may edit config.sys to fix any problems and be assured that the proper drivers are running in your system. IBM1S506.ADD and PIIXIDE.ADD are both IDE hard file device drivers and only one should be activated in config.sys. These drivers are activated by the command line BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD note: REM appearing in front of the line in config.sys acts as a comment and the line is ignored by the operating system. IBMIDECD.FLT and PIIXIDE.FLT are both IDE CDROM device drivers and only one should be activated in config.sys. These drivers are activated by the command line BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT note: REM appearing in front of the line in config.sys acts as a comment and the line is ignored by the operating system. METHOD 1 : ---------- If the BusMaster drivers are already installed on your system (or you're not sure, use the CID install method provided ONLY !! See Readme.txt METHOD 2 : ---------- If the BusMaster drivers are not installed on your system, then install the CDROM support through the standard install or the CID install methods provided prior to installation of the BusMaster device drivers. 2.0 CID Install Notes ---------------------- See the file Readme.txt for explanation of the CID install process. In a non network or stand alone environment just execute the install command ( cidcd.exe ) and answer the prompts. 3.0 General Installation ------------------------ See the standard CDROM option information in the file read.me .
