To set up a PCMCIA or parallel port CD-ROM drive
The general steps for setting up a PCMCIA CD-ROM drive are as follows:
1. Copy the device drivers—from the installation software provided with the CD-
ROM drive—to the
Support Utility
disk into the
A:\TOOLS
directory.
2. Add the
device=driver
statements to the
CONFIG.SYS
file on the Support
Utility disk. The device statements should immediately follow the [USERCD]
label.
3. Check the
AUTOEXEC.BAT
file to make sure that the CD-ROM drive is assigned
as drive
G:
.
Before the OmniBook can recognize the CD-ROM drive, you’ll need to edit the
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on the
Support Utility
disk. The required
device-drivers statements come from the CD-ROM manufacturer.
What you’ll need from your CD-ROM manufacturer
1. The names of the device drivers to copy to the Support Utility disk.
2. The
device=drivers
statements to add the CONFIG.SYS file.
3. Statements that the CD-ROM drive that
may
require to be added to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Hint
Both the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files contain comments that should help
your CD-ROM manufacturer advise you in editing the files to meet the particular
requirements for your device
