Manual Installation
You may also manually install the external CD-RW device driver if the default setting conflicts with
your system. Perform the following procedures to complete the manual installation.
1. Copy the file ARICDF.EXE from the device driver diskette to your hard disk.
2. Add the following line to the TOP of your CONFIG.SYS file. If there is already a LASTDRIVE
line with a letter other than Z, change it to Z.
LASTDRIVE=Z
3. Add the following line to the BOTTOM of your CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=drive:\path\ARICDF.EXE /P:320 /D:MSCD001
Where drive:\path specifies the directory containing ARICDF.EXE.
Note: If your CONFIG.SYS file is already loaded with PCMCIA software, such as Cardsoft of
SystemSoft or Cardtalk of Databook, it is necessary to add the above line after the
PCMCIA software. Otherwise, the PCMCIA interface card will not be initialized properly.
ARICDF.EXE is the device driver for the PCMCIA CD-RW. The parameters of ARICDF.EXE
are described below:
/P is used to set the I/O ports, and the valid numbers are 320, 340, and 360, and the default
setting is /P:320.
/D is used to set the device name. It can be any name up to 8 characters. This name must be the
same as the name specified in the MSCDEX.EXE option /D:name in the next step.
