The CD-ROM Drive comes with a CD-ROM Driver for DOS/Win 3.x Installation
disk, which includes an installation utility that installs the driver needed to access
and use a CD-ROM disc in your CD-ROM Drive. The disk contents include:
ASUSCD.SYS
DOS/Win 3.x Driver
INSTALL.EXE
Installation utility
README.TXT
Description and use of the files
In addition to the hardware-dependent driver, a software-dependent driver is installed:
MSCDEX.EXE (version 2.21 or later), which is the Microsoft CD-ROM Extension, a
standard mechanism for interfacing CD-ROM drives with computers. The driver comes
with your operating system, for example, MS-DOS.
DOS/Windows 3.x
1. Restart your computer in DOS Mode.
2. Insert the CD-ROM Driver for DOS/Win 3.x Installation disk into either drive A
or drive B.
3. Type A: install (or B: install) and then press [Enter].
4. Choose your preferred setup option and then follow the instructions on the screen.
Express Setup
Choose the express setup option for quick and easy installation. For most users,
this option, which installs the default CD-ROM driver setting, works just fine.
A directory, C:\ASUS_CD, containing the CD-ROM Driver and installation file,
is created during the installation, and your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS
files will be updated with the following entered:
AUTOEXEC.BAT: C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000
CONFIG.SYS: DEVICE=C:\ASUS_CD\ASUSCD.SYS /D:MSCD000
