Manual Installation
You may also manually install the external CD-RW OS/2 device driver if the default setting conflicts
with your system. Perform the following procedures to complete the manual installation.
1. Copy the ARICD2.FLT file from A:\OS2WARP to the BOOT subdirectory of the OS/2 directory
(for example: C:\OS2\BOOT.)
2. Add the following line to the BOTTOM of your CONFIG.SYS file:
BASEDEV=ARICD2.FLT /P:3 /I:11
The parameters of ARICD2.FLT are described below:
/P is used to set the I/O ports. The valid ports are 1, 2, and 3. Each number represents the I/O
ports group of (170-177, 376-377), (1E8-1EF, 3EE-3EF), and (168-16F, 36E-36F)
respectively. The default setting is /P:1. Set to /P:3 is recommended.
/I is used to set the IRQ number, the valid IRQs are 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 15, and the
default setting is /I:11.
