CD-ROM Configuration
This chapter will help you set up your CD-ROM to work properly with the HOT-233/HOT-239.
The first section will explain how to set up the CD-ROM using the SNDINIT.EXE configuration
program. The next section will discuss the connectors and proper CD-ROM interfacing to the
HOT-233/HOT-239.
The HOT-233/HOT-239 supports Sony, Panasonic, Mitsumi and IDE CD-ROM drives. You can configure
and set up these CD-ROM drives when you first set up the HOT-233/HOT-239 using the INSTALL.EXE
program, or later with the SNDINIT.EXE program.
Before proceeding, make sure you have successfully installed your CD-ROM drive hardware into your
computer system as well as the CD-ROM drive’s device driver and related software.
The following steps will help you set up your CD-ROM drive with the SNDINIT.EXE program. We will
be using a Mitsumi drive in these examples:
1.Run SNDINIT.EXE and choose Configure.
2.Select Customize for the CD-ROM Interface.
3.We are using the Mitsumi CD-ROM for these steps. Choose Mitsumi for the CD-ROM model. The
configuration box for the Mitsumi CD-ROM will appear.
4.At this point, you should have the CD-ROM Drive's hardware options which you have used to set
up your CD-ROM Drive while running the CD-ROM drive’s installation program.
5.Select the I/O Port Address, IRQ, and DMA options that match with your CD-ROM drive’s op-
tions.
6.Select OK to accept your settings. You will be notified that your CONFIG.SYS file will be up-
dated. Select OK and a line similar to the following will be added to your CONFIG.SYS file
DEVICE=C:\SOUND16\CDSETUP.SYS /T:M /P:340 /I:10 /D:X
This assumes you configured the CD-ROM to use I/O Port Address 340H, Interrupt 10 with DMA
disabled. The "T:M"stands for Mitsumi.

1016-Bit Sound Pro
7.You must now exit the program and REBOOT your computer for the settings to take effect.
If you decide to change your current CD-ROM options, you need to run SNDINIT.EXE again. Each
time you make changes to your configuration, your CONFIG.SYS file must be updated again.
The SNDINIT.EXE program will only make changes to the Config.sys line that begins with:
DEVICE=C:\SOUND16\CDSETUP.SYS . . .
If you have changed your CD-ROM drive, your CD-ROM manufacturer will have recommended changes
for its own CD-ROM device drivers that you must follow. Refer to your CD-ROM drive’s user manual
for more information.
Installing the MSCDEX Driver
Your CD-ROM will require that the proper MSCEX driver is loaded on system boot-up. During installation,
the HOT-233/HOT-239 installation program will take several steps to insure that the proper MSCDEX is
used for your system.
1.First, the HOT-233/HOT-239 installation program will look at your Autoexec.bat file for an exist-
ing MSCDEX driver. If it finds it it, will use it.
2.If it doesn't find it there, it will scan your hard drive to find the MSCDEX.EXE program. Usu-
ally this will be found with you DOS operating system programs. If the HOT-233/HOT-239 instal-
lation program finds the MSCDEX.EXE program it will use it. If more than one copy of
MSCDEX.EXE exist on your system, the HOT-233/HOT-239 installation program will display
all known files on your system, and ask you to select the one you want to use.
3.The HOT-233/HOT-239 comes with three MSCDEX drivers. If MSCDEX.EXE is not found on your
system, the HOT-233/HOT-239 installation program will check your DOS version (DOS 5.0, 6.0
and 6.2) ,then copy and install the MSCDEX.EXE program which will work best with your system.
4.If the HOT-233/HOT-239 installation program determines that your DOS version is earlier than
5.0, it will request that you use the MSCDEX program that came with your CD-ROM drive (avail-
able from your CD-ROM manufacturer). The following line will be added to your autoexec.bat
file:
REM C:\SOUND16\MSCDEX.EXE (or REM C:\OPTi930\MSCDEX.EXE )
When you copy the proper MSCDEX.EXE program that works with your CD-ROM into the
C:\SOUND16 subdirectory, edit the above line in your AUTOEXEC.BATfile by removing the word
"REM" so that the line looks as follows:
C:\SOUND16\MSCDEX.EXE (or REM C:\OPTi930\MSCDEX.EXE )
The proper MSCDEX.EXE program will then be loaded when you re-boot your system.
The HOT-233/HOT-239 CD-ROM Interface
There are four CD-ROM interface connectors on the HOT-233/HOT-239, supporting Sony, Mitsumi,
Panasonic and IDE CD-ROM drives.
Note: You should have your CD-ROM drive user guide handy during this installation. It may have
information not covered here.

11
16-Bit Sound Pro
Your internal CD-ROM drive should have come with an appropriate CD-ROM ribbon cable. The cable
will connect to the HOT-233/HOT-239.
The HOT-233/HOT-239 supports I/O Port Addresses 320H, 330H, 340H and 360H. You should make
note of this when you select the I/O Port Address during your CD-ROM drive’s installation process.
If you have a separate CD-ROM controller card, and you do not wish to use the built-in CD-ROM
interface on the HOT-233/HOT-239, you do not have to make any changes to your existing environ-
ment. Make sure that you enter the configuration list "None" for the CD-ROM drive.
Warning Make sure that the red line on your CD-ROM interface cable is
connected to Pin 1 of the interface connector on the sound card.
Microphone Connection:A microphone can be connected to the Microphone-In connector on the
sound card located below the Line-In connector. Use a dynamic monaural or stereo microphone with
a resistance of not more than 600 ohms.
Joystick Connection:The joystick/MIDI port is a 15-pin female connector located just below the Mi-
crophone-In connector. This port can be connected to any IBM PC-compatible joystick with a 15-pin
D-sub connector. Disable the joystick port on the sound card (using the SNDINIT.EXE program) if you
already have a game port or game card.
Windows Configuration
During the Software installation process, the HOT-233/HOT-239 installation program added Windows
sound drivers to your system. This section will describe how to change the DMA channel, IRQ, I/O
Port Address, and Advanced Settings of the HOT-233/HOT-239 in Windows 3.1. To change settings
under Windows, please follow the steps below:
1.Start Windows.
2.Select the Main file group.

changes. A dialog box will appear asking if you 'd
like to restart windows. Select the Restart Now
button to restart Windows.
7.If you wish to modify the advance settings, click
on Advance Settings and a Window will appear.
Make the necessary changes and click OK. You
will be prompted again to restart Windows .
8.Advanced Settings: Use Single Mode DMA
Your computer system may support both Single
Mode DMA as well as Demand Mode DMA.
Demand Mode DMA provides a more efficient
means of transferring chunks of data between
memory and a device. However, if your system
does not support Demand Mode DMA, you
must select Single Mode DMA instead.
Advanced Settings: DMA Buffer Size
Setting the DMA buffer size tells the CPU how
much data to transfer between memory and a
device,at one time. If you specify a larger size,
it allows the CPU to complete the transfer of
data faster ,but increases the memory consump-
tion.
The default size should be 32 Kilobytes (32K). If
you decide to change the buffer size, be sure to
make it in multiples of 4 K.
