Using Sound on Your PC Windows 3.11 and MS-DOS System File Settings CD-ROM Drivers The CD-ROM drive supplied with your multimedia sound kit uses two drivers: • MSCDEX.EXE, the Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions program provided with MS-DOS and located in the C:\DOS directory • FDATACD.SYS, which controls the CD-ROM drive, and which is located in the directory C:\DEV (created during installation). Installation adds this line to the CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=C:\DEV\FDATACD.SYS/D:MSCD0HP Changing the MSCDEX.EXE Driver Settings You can use a text editor to change the MSCDEX.EXE driver settings by editing the following statement (or one very like it) in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file: C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD0HP /M:12 The parameters for the MSCDEX.EXE statement are shown below. Parameter /D:device /M:xx /E /V /L:drive Description Specifies the name of the CD-ROM drive. This must be identical to the device name in the CONFIG.SYS file (for example, MSCD000). Specifies the number of buffers for temporary storage of the most recent data. The default value of xx is 12. Each buffer uses about 2 KB of memory. The performance of your drive increases with the value of xx. However, specifying too many buffers may interfere with programs that have large memory requirements. Instructs the computer to use expanded memory, if any is available. Displays a summary of RAM allocation and expanded memory usage at bootup time. The drive letter to be assigned to the first CD-ROM drive. Do not assign a letter already used by the computer or else the CD-ROM drive cannot be accessed. 32 English
