A preliminary (BETA2) release of the Windows NT 3.1 device driver
is now available which can control both the CM-205MS and CM-206 CDROM drives.
The driver will work with both the CM-250 and CM-260 Host Adapter cards.
*****************************************************************************
Notice:
If you are installing NT from CD, you must run the WINNT.EXE program
located in the /I386 directory of the NT install CD. This is a DOS
based program that will fully setup NT without requiring you to add
CDROM driver support. Once NT is installed in this manner, add the
CDROM driver per the instructions that follow. This problem will be
corrected in a future version of the driver.
*****************************************************************************
To install the driver, use the following procedure from the
Windows NT DOS prompt:
1) After decompressing the 206_NT31.EXE file, copy the extracted files to
the LMS206 directory, which you create, then run the INSTALL program.
"C:\LMS206>INSTALL"
2) Using the Windows NT Setup Utility, add a SCSI device. Select 'Other'
to install the driver from the directory that you created above. The
Setup Utility will use the OEMSETUP.INF file to automatically create
a Registry Entry for the CDROM device.
3) The system will need to be rebooted for the changes to take effect.
*******************************************************************************
Notice:
Use this pre-release device driver at your own risk, and be advised
that the software is not a fully functional product at this time.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS DRIVER. If you experience
problems using this software, please complete the included BETABUG.TXT
response form and fax it to 719-531-0168.
*******************************************************************************
_______________________________________________________________________________
If you have trouble with the Windows NT Setup utility, you can
alternatively make a manual entry in the Registry as follows:
Using the REGEDT32 utility that is provided with the Windows NT product,
create a registry entry for the device driver.
At HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENT_CONTROL_SET\SERVICES
add a key called Lms206Cdrom.
This is done by placing the highlighter at the SERVICES entry and then
selecting ADD KEY at the registry EDIT menu bar option.
Place the highlighter at the new SERVICES entry called Lms206Cdrom and
select ADD VALUE at the registry EDIT menu bar option for each of
the values shown below:
Value Name Data Type Data
------------------------------------
ErrorControl REG_DWORD 1
Group REG_SZ SCSI Miniport
Start REG_DWORD 0
Type REG_DWORD 1
_______________________________________________________________________________
Setting Interrupt Jumpers:
Note that this procedure is being automated for the final release.
The driver will utilize a 'Polling' method unless directed to use
Interrupts by the Registry Entry for the device. Polling is fine
for casual usage however, data transfers can be slowed down if
many tasks are executing at the same time. Using Interrupts will
ensure that the Cd-Rom Device gets the needed CPU time to run as
efficiently as possible. Use the following procedure to enable
interrupts for the Cd-Rom Device(s):
1) Set the Interrupt Jumper on the Host adapter module to the desired level.
2) Make a Registry Entry under the Lms206Cdrom Drivers' key as follows:
At HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENT_CONTROL_SET\SERVICES\Lms206Cdrom
add a key called Parameters.
This is done by placing the highlighter at the Lms206Cdrom entry and
then selecting ADD KEY at the registry EDIT menu bar option.
3) At the Parameters Entry,
add a key called Device0.
This is done by placing the highlighter at the Parameters entry and
then selecting ADD KEY at the registry EDIT menu bar option.
3) At the Device0 Entry,
add a value called DriverParameter.
This is done by placing the highlighter at the Device0 entry and
then selecting ADD VALUE at the registry EDIT menu bar option.
4) Edit the DriverParameter String using the following syntax:
IRQx=15 where x is the device number 0, 1, or 2. If you have one
Lms206Cdrom drive, use device number 0.
5) The system will need to be rebooted for the changes to take effect.
The Registry Tree Entry will look something like this if all goes well:
At HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENT_CONTROL_SET\SERVICES
Lms206Cdrom
Parameters
Device0 DriverParameter:REG_SZ:IRQ0=15
