/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 you will specify in the
MSCDEX.EXE option /D: name in the next step.

Add the following line at the TOP of your AUTOEXEC.BAT:

drive:\path

\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:4

where drive:\path

specifies the DOS directory or the directory containing the

file MSCDEX.EXE.

Note: If your AUTOEXEC.BAT file loads a menu program such as
DOSSHELL or Windows, you have to add the above line to start your menu
program. Otherwise, MSCDEX will not have a chance to load before your
menu program begins.

The example above shows the default setting. The

/D:

switch indicates the

device name. It MUST be the same name as you specified by the

/D:

switch of EXPCDG.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS file. The

/M:

switch indicates

how much memory to allocate for caching information on the CD-ROM. The
default

/M:4

caches 8KB.

For more information about the switches of MSCDEX, please type “

help

MSCDEX

” at the DOS prompt.

Now, reboot your computer to activate the CD-ROM drive.

ENABLING 32-BIT CARD SUPPORT OF WINDOWS 95

Your system should be ready for PCMCIA socket support prior to operating
the PORTABLE CD-ROM. To check whether your computer is PCMCIA
Socket supported, first, double-click on the “System” icon from “Control
Panel” folder (you can select the “Control Panel” under “Settings” from the
“Start” menu to open the “Control Panel” folder).

Click on the Device Manager Tab. If “PCMCIA Socket” is found with a cross
(x) sign next to the PCMCIA Controller as Figure 9, it means the PCMCIA
device driver is not using 32-Bit Card Support.

Figure 9

In this case, double click on the PCMCIA Controller, and a dialog box will be
displayed as below. Please place a check mark next to the current
configuration of Device usage box, then select OK.
