ADVANCD CD-ROM Driver ===================== Command Line Options /P Pause after driver load. /L Specifies that ADAVNCD should scan for logical units. (By default, logical units are not scanned) /D:name Specifies the device name given the driver in your CONFIG.SYS file for use with your CD-ROM interface software. (The default device name is ADVCD0, which will apply to all connected CD-ROM drives.) A line DEVICE=C:\path\ADVANCD.SYS should be added to CONFIG.SYS or one can run our DOS install or WINDOWS Setup. (WINDOWS SETUP should not be run in WIN 95 system, WIN 95 has its own CD-ROM driver build in) A line MSCDEX.EXE /D:ADVCD0 Should be added to AUTOEXEC.BAT The /D parameter provides MSCDEX with the device name assigned to the CD-ROM driver. The MS-DOS drive letters assigned to the CD Drive(s) start after the last logical hard disk drive. Additional information on MSCDEX.EXE usage is available in the Programmers Guide for MSCDEX or directly from on-line help in MS-DOS 6.X. Note - The Windows and DOS based install programs will take care of installing ADVANCD and MSCDEX, plus make all needed modifications to CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. CD-ROM Driver Operation ======================= An MS-DOS CD-ROM driver is a translation layer that fits between the Microsoft CD-ROM extensions (MSCDEX) and the hardware-specific device manager (ADVASPI). It translates CD-ROM commands to ASPI commands, then translates ASPI completion to CD-ROM completion. It is normally called by MSCDEX, but can be called directly from applications. For more information, see the MSCDEX programmers specification published by Microsoft.
