INSRUCTIONS FOR CID INSTALLATION FOR CDROM DRIVER
---------------------------------------------------
A. Following Drivers will be installed :
1) IBM1S506.ADD
2) OS2CDROM.DMD
3) IBMIDECD.FLT
NOTE : i) Above Drivers will be installed only if -
1) No copy exist .
2) Older version of Driver Exists .
ii) If entry for CDFS.IFS is not found in config.sys and
it exists in target machine it will be added .
iii) IBM1S506.ADD will not be installed if PIIXIDE.ADD is present
iV) IBMIDECD.FLT will not be installed if PIIXIDE.FLT is present
B. INSTALLATION PROGRAM :
SYNTAX : cidcd [/s:< Source Drive & Path >] [/t:< Target Drive & Path > ]
[/L1:< Log File >]
Parameters :
/s: :: This option is used to specify Source Drive and/or Path.
If this option is not specified then the Program
will prompt for Source Drive and/or Path where the
Drivers(s) to be installed are present .
/t: :: This option is used to specify Target Drive and/or Path.
If this option is not specified then the Program
will prompt for Target Drive and/or Path where the
Driver(s) will be installed.
Drive letter of the target drive must be specified .
( In case of network installation specify the
target's network drive )
If Target Path is not specified , the Program
will assume a default target directory path.
/L1: :: This option is used to specify a LogFile where
installation information will be kept.
If this option is not specified then the Program
will display log messages on Screen otherwise
Messages will be logged in the specified
logfile.
if Log file name is given without path and drive
it will be created in Target root directory
if Log file name is given without drive
it will be created with the specified path
in the target machine .
NOTE : 1). Base Drivers will always be installed in "\OS2\BOOT" Directory of
Target machine . ( or \OS2 in case of OS/2 2.X )
2). If the latest version of the Base Driver exists in the Root
Directory the driver will not be installed.
3). If an older version of the Base Driver exists in the Root
Directory, it will be deleted and the latest version will be
copied to OS2/BOOT directory.( or \OS2 in case of OS/2 2.X )
4). If the user specifies a Path using "/t" option , the drivers
will be copied to the user specified path, otherwise a
default Path will be assumed .
5). In case the program is unable to log in the user specified
file , it will be displayed on the screen .
C. INSTALLATION EXAMPLE :
cidcd /s:c:\install\cdrom /t:f: /L1:cdrom.log
where
c:\install\cdrom is the source directory for drivers existing on
the server.
f: is the target network drive where the drivers will be installed.
( Default Target Path is assumed ).
cdrom.log is the logfile which will be created in the root directory
of the target machine.
IBM1S506.ADD and IBMIDECD.FLT will be installed in /OS2/BOOT Directory.
( or in \OS2 in case of OS/2 2.X )
OS2CDROM.DMD by default will be also be installed in /OS2/BOOT Directory.
( or in \OS2 in case of OS/2 2.X )
D. RETURN CODES :
0xFE00 : If CID Installation is Successful
Reboot and do not invoke again .
0x1604 : Unexpected Condition .
This is a severe error condition
0x0812 : Data Path not found .
Explanation : Source, Target or LogFile
Paths might be incorrect.

1.0 System-Specific Installation Notes
--------------------------------------
If you have an IBM PC-3xx or PC-7xx system and are running the BusMaster
DMA device drivers you must follow one of these installation methods. The
BusMaster DMA device drivers are PIIXIDE.ADD and/or PIIXIDE.FLT and would
be found in config.sys replacing the standard device drivers IBM1S506.add
and/or IBMIDECD.FLT .
The problem to avoid is having multiple drivers loaded by config.sys due to
improper sequence of installation. This can be avoided by following one of
the methods below. If you have already used some other installation method,
you may edit config.sys to fix any problems and be assured that the proper
drivers are running in your system.
IBM1S506.ADD and PIIXIDE.ADD are both IDE hard file device drivers and only
one should be activated in config.sys. These drivers are activated by the
command line
BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD <optional switches>
note: REM appearing in front of the line in config.sys acts as a comment
and the line is ignored by the operating system.
IBMIDECD.FLT and PIIXIDE.FLT are both IDE CDROM device drivers and only
one should be activated in config.sys. These drivers are activated by the
command line
BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT <optional switches>
note: REM appearing in front of the line in config.sys acts as a comment
and the line is ignored by the operating system.
METHOD 1 :
----------
If the BusMaster drivers are already installed on your system (or you're
not sure, use the CID install method provided ONLY !! See Readme.txt
METHOD 2 :
----------
If the BusMaster drivers are not installed on your system, then install
the CDROM support through the standard install or the CID install methods
provided prior to installation of the BusMaster device drivers.
2.0 CID Install Notes
----------------------
See the file Readme.txt for explanation of the CID install process. In a
non network or stand alone environment just execute the install command
( cidcd.exe ) and answer the prompts.
3.0 General Installation
------------------------
See the standard CDROM option information in the file read.me .
