PART 3 - CD-ROM Drive Interface Interfacing a CD-ROM drive to your Sound Card: To interface/connect your new or existing CD-ROM drive to your sound card, please follow the simple steps below. If you are interfacing an existing CD-ROM drive to your sound card, you only need to follow steps 1 and 2 below since you should already have your existing CD-ROM driver setup in your CONFIG.SYS file. However, if your are interfacing a new CD-ROM drive, you will need to follow all 3 steps below; in which case, it is recommended that your perform step 1 first. 1. Hardware setup To connect your CD-ROM drive to your sound card, you will need to setup the correct data connector cable from your CD-ROM to your sound card. Please refer to your sound card installation manual for more details. 2. Modifying/Setting the MAD16.SYS setup program To interface your new or existing CD-ROM drive to your Sound Card, use an editor to open the CONFIG.SYS file for editing and locate the line "BASEDEV=MAD16.SYS..." This line should be at the first line of the file. Insert the following "CDTYPE:" option into the line and when completed, it should read: BASEDEV=MAD16.SYS CDTYPE:X CDBASE:XXX CDIRQ:X where is the CD-ROM model denoted by the following characters: S - stands for SONY M - stands for Mitsumi P - stands for Panasonic I - stands for IDE (secondary) For example, the following enables the interface for a SONY IDE CD-ROM. BASEDEV=MAD16.SYS CDTYPE:I CDBASE:170 If the above MAD16.SYS line is not located, proceed to PART 1 of this document for details on installing the Sound Card setup program. Save the file and proceed to install the CD-ROM driver if needed. 3. Installing the CD-ROM driver Open the Selective Install program located in the System Setup folder and click on the icon next to the "CD-ROM Device Support" entry. A window with the list of OS/2 supported CD-ROM drivers will appear. Select (click on) the CD-ROM driver name belonging to your CD-ROM model and click on OK to confirm. Click on OK to start your CD-ROM driver installation. If you have already successfully connected your CD-ROM drive to your sound card as detailed in your installation manual, you may shut down OS/2 and reboot your system for the changes to take effect. If not, please proceed to connect your CD-ROM drive to your sound card after shutting down OS/2 and switching off your system. List of CD-ROM drive models supported by your Sound Card: Below lists the make and models of the CD-ROM drives that are supported by your Sound Card. MAKE MODEL(s) TYPE Character Denotation ------------------------------------------------------------------ SONY CDU-31A, 31A-02, 33A Proprietary S SONY CDU-55D IDE I PANASONIC 522, 523, 562, 563 Proprietary P MITSUMI LU005S, FX001D Proprietary M MITSUMI FX001DE IDE I PHILIPS CM 207, CR 940I IDE I IPC 8001 IDE I WEARNES CDD-120 IDE I If you have a CD-ROM which isn't included in this list, please check that the drive is compatible with any of the above MAKE and MODELs. Contact the CD-ROM manufacturer for details on the compatibility of your drive. If your drive is compatible, the drive may be specified as the appropriate TYPE in the CDTYPE option. PART 4 - Options for MAD16.SYS Sound Card Setup Program The following lists the available options for the MAD16.SYS sound card setup program. MODE: wss, sb (default Windows Sound System) BASE: 220, 240 (for Sound Blaster mode, default 220) 530, E80, F40, 604 (for Windows Sound System mode, default 530) Choosing 530 or E80 for WSS gives 220 for Sound Blaster. Choosing 604 or F40 for WSS gives 240 for Sound Blaster. E80 and F40 are valid only with version 930 of the OPTi part. CDTYPE: None, Sony31A, Panasonic, Mitsumi, IDE (default None) One character is adequate (e.g. CDTYPE:S) CDBASE: None, 320, 330, 340, 360 (default based on CDTYPE) Sony31A - 320, 330, 340, 360 (default 320) Panasonic - 330, 340 (default 330) Mitsumi - 320, 340 (default, 320) IDE - 170 (fixed) CDIRQ: None, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11 (default based on CDTYPE) Sony31A, Mitsumi (All above choices are valid) Panasonic - None (polled device, no interrupts) IDE - 15 (fixed) SBIRQ: 5, 7, 10, 11 (default 7) SBDMA: 1, 2, 3 (default 1) WSSIRQ: 7, 9, 10, 11 WSSDMA: 0, 1, 3 (default 1, avoid 0) NOTE: The WSS IRQ and DMA are specified here, but can be reset by the audio PDD when it loads. Optimally, the audio PDD will query MAD16.SYS to learn of the device settings. As of this writing, this communication does not exist. JOYSTICK: 0, 1 (default 1, joystick enabled) MPU: Y, N MPUBASE: 330, 320, 300 MPUIRQ: 9, 5, 7 NOTE: MPU401 setting are optional settings. See Part 7 for more MPU401 descriptions. PART 5 - How to Reconfig the Hardware Settings Type "c:\sound16\minstall" and enter, then follow the directions from Part 1, step 8. Directory "SOUND16" was created in root directoy during the first installation process. It contains the same files as the installation disk. PART 6 - WIN-OS/2 support Run MINSTALL and select OPTi WIN-OS/2 Audio Driver to install for WIN-OS/2 support. Before starting a WIN-OS/2 session, be sure to close all OS/2 Audio applications. PART 7 - MPU401 support MPU401 interface is currently supported under WIN-OS/2 environment only. By default, MPU401 interface is disabled. MINSTALL does not add any MPU401 hardware settings in config.sys. To run MPU401 applications under WIN-OS/2, MPU401 settings must be added using an editor in config.sys after installation. Use an editor to open config.sys. Find the line BASEDEV=MAD16.SYS... Add the MPU401 settings at the end of the line. The following lists the available MPU401 options for the MAD16.SYS sound card setup program: MPU: Y, N (Enable or Disable MPU401 interface) MPUBASE: 330, 320, 300 (Make sure there is no conflict with another device on the system) MPUIRQ: 9, 5, 7 (Make sure there is no conflict with another device on the system) For example, add MPU:Y MPUBASE:330 MPUIRQ:9 at the end of the line to enable MPU401 at base address 330 and irq 9. Save the changes and shutdown the system. PART 8 - Known Problems - None so far. PART 9 - Brief Trouble-Shooting Session Problem: OS/2 cannot detect your sound card and/or CD-ROM Solution: Ensure that the BASEDEV=MAD16.SYS... line is located immediately before the LIBPATH= statement: Problem: No startup sound when starting OS/2 Solution: Check if System Sound is enabled Problem: Sounds keep repeating Solution: This is due to an interrupt conflict on your system. To use a different interrupt selection, open the CONFIG.SYS file for editing and change the SBIRQ option in the MAD16.SYS line to a different interrupt. Problem: DOS games do not work under OS/2 DOS session Solution: Run OS/2 Add Programs located in the System Setup folder to ask OS/2 to add the set of DOS games on your system. This allows OS/2 to setup the DOS session settings best suited for your individual games such as DOOM. If the DOS game still does not run, this may be due to the incompatibility of the game with OS/2. Consult the OS/2 newsgroup - comp.os.os2.games on the internet for FAQs relating to this subject, or the FTP site - hobbes.nmsu.edu. Problem: IDE CD-ROM does not work Solution: Ensure that the IDE CD-ROM jumper is closed on your sound card. Consult your sound card manual for details. Problem: Compact Disc player does not generate sound. Solution: Go to Digital Audio. Under OPTIONS, select Monitor input. Problem: The CD ROM device drivers for PANASONIC CR 562/563 and IDE cdrom drives that ship with OS/2 WARP for Windows, do not work. Solution: The drivers that ship with OS/2 WARP "FullPack" fix this problem. Problem: MINSTALL did not add the "BASEDEV=MAD16.SYS.." statement to config.sys. Solution: Reduce the length "LIBPATH=.." statement in config.sys to 255 characters or less.
