DOS/Windows 3.x

Most of the CD-ROM titles for Windows 3.1/3.11 contain the SETUP.EXE or
INSTALL.EXE program in the CD disc. You need to start either one of the
programs to add a Program Group and its icons into your computer, and perform
the following,

1) In Program Manager click File => Run
2) Type in

D:

(or the drive letter assigned for CD-ROM)

SETUP.EXE

or

INSTALL.EXE

.

3) Follow the on-screen instructions.
4) After complete setting up, click the icon for the program.

Windows 95

The CD-ROM for the Windows 95 titles include the AUTO RUN feature. This
means when you close the disc cover with this type of CD disc inside, Windows 95
will start the opening screen automatically. You can add the program, browse
content of the CD, etc. from this screen.

The other procedure is from ‘Control Panel’ click on ‘Add/Remove Programs’ icon,
click on ‘Install’ button then follow the on screen instruction.

Hot Insert/Remove the PCMCIA CD-ROM

The PCMCIA interface specification define that you may hot
insert/remove the PCMCIA interface card, which means to insert,
remove or exchange the card from your system at any time without
rebooting or turning off your system.

However, for any given system, the PCMCIA CD-ROM, being a
storage device itself, can not be hot removed when it is in use by a
program. To avoid some sort of system failure, read the following
carefully before using hot-removing technology.

DOS/Windows 3.X

you are allowed to hot insert/remove the PCMCIA CD-ROM ONLY when your
computer is loaded with a PCMCIA software which is ExCA compliant. If your
system doesn’t have such software, it is necessary to connect the PCMCIA CD-
ROM first before your computer is being booted. Do not hot remove the card when
the CD-ROM is accessing the data particularly in OS/2 system.
