The aspicd Device Driver
The aspicd device driver for DOS./Windows supports
* Up to 24 SCSI CD-ROM drives on one system
* Miltisession Photo CD-compatible drives
* Audio and data modes for all supported CD-ROM drives and photo CD on drives 
  that are capable of this feature
* Generic data-only for nearly all CD-ROM drive models
* High Sierra and ISO-9660 CD formats

The readme file on the EZ SCSI diskettes also includes current CD-ROM support 
information. You can call the Adaptec electronic Bulletin Board Service (BBS) 
for an updated list of supported CD-ROM models.

Command Line Options

This section has complete information about aspidisk command line options. 
You can type command line options  in either lowercase or uppercase letters. 
Leave at least one blank space between options on the same line.
The meaning and usage of each option is as follows (options are listed 
alphabetically):

/d:<name>
This option, which must be included in the config.sys command line, assigns 
a name to the CD-ROM driver so that mscdex (the Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions) 
can install the CD-ROM as a logical drive letter, This option, which is 
entered automatically by Adaptec EZ-SCSI, must match the syntax of the 
/d:<name> option in the autoexec.bat command that loads mscdex. 
(See The Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions for more information.)

Here is an example:
device=c:\scsi\aspicd.sys /d:aspicd0



/id={...}
This option lets you specify which CD-ROM drives you want aspicd to control. 
By default, aspicd controls all drives. The following examples show the 
command line syntax on the left and explanation on the right. 
The second example assume that the computer has two host adapters. 
(If your computer has one host adapter, it is host adapter #0.)
/id=2+4+6       
		Support device at SCSI ID 2 on host adapter #0
		Support device at SCSI ID 4 on host adapter #0
		Support device at SCSI ID 6 on host adapter #0
		
/id=3+1: 4+5            
		Support device at SCSI ID 3 on host adapter #0
		Support device at SCSI ID 4 on host adapter #1
		Support device at SCSI ID 5 on host adapter #0

/L 
This option enables aspicd to recognize all eight possible LUNs associated 
with each SCSI ID. If the option is not entered , aspi4dos can only recognize 
LUN 0 for each SCSI ID. You should add the /L option to the command line if 
you have a juke box CD-ROM drive that can access multiple discs.

EZ-SCSI adds this option to the command line automatically if it detects some 
models of CD-ROM drives, such as the Pioneer DRM-600 and the DRM-604X.

/mb
This option provides maximum compatibility with Music Box, a popular CD-ROM 
play application from Trantor. (Adaptec EZ-SCSI has its own CD-audio play 
applications for both Windows and DOS. 

/norst
This option prevents aspicd from issuing a SCSI bus reset message as part of 
its power-on routine. The default is to issue it. The reset message, which is 
supported  only by Toshiba, Hitachi, and NEC drives, resets drives that are 
playing audio CDs when the computer is rebooted.

/pause
This option makes your system pause after loading aspicd at boot time so you 
can read the message on the screen. after you read the message, press any key 
to resume the booting process.

/type:<drive vendor>
This option allows aspicd to support audio play for CD-ROM drives that are 
not included on the list of supported drives, but which are compatible with a 
supported drive type. (aspicd supports data mode for nearly all models of 
CD-ROM.)

Suppose you want to play audio CDs on your Frammel CD-ROM drive. Although the 
Frammel is not on the list of supported drives, it has a Sony-compatible SCSI 
interface. If you add /type:sony to the command line in the config.sys file, 
aspicd interfaces with your Frammel drive as if it were a Sony drive, allowing 
you to play audio CDs. Here is an example:

device=C:\scsi\aspicd.sys /D:aspicd0 /type:sony

If you use the /type:<drive vendor> option, aspicd assumes that all CD-ROM 
drives on the SCSI bus are made by this vendor. This means that you cannot 
combine different brands of CD-ROM drives on the bus. The valid entries for 
this option are as follows:
chinon
denon   
hitachi
Ims             
nec     
panasonic
sony
texel
toshiba
