C Using A Cd-Rom Drive With Dos - Adaptec ARO-1130CA Installation And Hardware Manual

Using a CD-ROM Drive
with DOS
To operate a SCSI CD-ROM drive connected to the ARO-1130CA
under DOS, you need
The SCSI driver, aspi8dos.sys (version 1.30 or later)
The CD-ROM driver, aspicd.sys
The Microsoft CD-ROM extensions, mscdex.exe
The aspi8dos.sys and aspicd.sys files must be copied from the
Adaptec Array1000CA Family Manager Set drivers diskette to a
directory (e.g., c:\scsi ) on your hard disk drive. The mscdex . exe file
is included with MS-DOS 6.x and above (see your MS-DOS docu-
mentation for details).
Note:
If you use MS-DOS 5 and do not have mscdex.exe , we
recommend that you upgrade to MS-DOS 6 or above. You
can also obtain mscdex.exe from Microsoft's Web site,
online bulletin board, or CompuServe forum.
To complete the driver installation, edit the config.sys file to include
command lines for aspi8dos.sys and aspicd.sys , and edit the
autoexec.bat file to include a command line for mscdex.exe . The
following examples illustrate the command line format and the com-
mand options appropriate for most systems.
