6.3 DEVICE DRIVER (ATAPICD.SYS) PARAMETER LIST
The device driver is installed with an entry in CONFIG.SYS. The syntax of this entry is:
DEVICE=ATAPICD.SYS[
/D:<device_names>][
/P:<port
address>]
[
/I:<IRQ
number>][
/
W:16|32]
where the arguments are:
/D:<device_names> The character device names that will be used by MSCDEX.EXE to find and
communicate with the device driver (default is "CD003").
/P:<port address> The port address to be used to communicate with the card. If this parameter is omitted,
the device driver will scan port address automatically during initialize process.
/I:<IRQ number> The IRQ number to be used by the IDE card. If this parameter is omitted, the device
driver will set the IRQ number to default value according the port address. If the port address is 1F0h
(primary IDE), the default IRQ number is 14. If the port address is 170h (secondary IDE), the default
IRQ number is 15.
/W:16|32 Select bus width as 16 or 32 bits. Default will auto detect IDE-Card ability.
6.4 MICROSOFT CD-ROM EXTENSIONS PARAMETERS
Microsoft CD-ROM Extension (MSCDEX.EXE) is an executable program for MS-DOS (version 3.1 or
higher) that works in conjunction with the device driver to allow your computer to access CD-ROM discs
in the CD-ROM drive as if they were MS-DOS formatted disks. This program is written by Microsoft and
is specifically designed to work with the Microsoft designed operating system commonly called MS-DOS.
Computers with MS-DOS 'compatible' operating systems may experience unpredictable results unless the
operating system manufacturer provides an alternative to the MSCDEX program.
The setup program automatically modifies the autoexec.bat file so that your computer can access the CD-
