through.

I. Hardware Installation

   Unlike the conventional AT-Bus CD-ROM drives, the SUPER
   CD-ROM drive does not require proprietary interfaces to be
   installed. Instead, you can make use of the existing
   primary or secondary IDE interface (if available) of your
   computer to set up the CD-ROM drive. It is this feature
   which allows a variety of installation options for your
   CD-ROM drive.

   [ATTENTION]
   1. Computers often vary in their physical build-up. As some of
      the instructions given in this chapter are general in
      nature, you may need to modify them slightly in order to
      adapt to your particular situation.

   2. You will need both a flat-blade and a Philips screwdriver
      to complete the hardware installation. You may find it
      helpful to also make use of the user's manual of your
      computer as a reference.

   After installation, a CD-ROM sub-directory will be created on
   your hard disk. (Usually C:\CDROM, depends on which hard
   drive you use such as C:\, D:\, E:\ or F:\) You will find the
   following command added to your CONFIG.SYS.

    DEVICE=C:\CDROM\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:CDROM001 /UDMA /Q

   And the following line added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT

       <MSCDEX_DIR>\MSCDEX.EXE /D:CDROM001

   The device driver is then installed completely.
