	ADVANCD CD-ROM Driver
	=====================

Command Line Options:


/P 
Pause after driver load.

/V
Verbose device information.

/L
Specifies that ADVANCD should scan for logical units.  (By 
default, logical units are not scanned)

/D:name    
Specifies the device name given the driver in your CONFIG.SYS 
file for use with your CD-ROM interface software.  (The 
default device name is ADVCD0, which will apply to all 
connected CD-ROM drives.)

The line:

DEVICE=C:\path\ADVANCD.SYS 

should be added to CONFIG.SYS or you can run our DOS install or WINDOWS
Setup. (WINDOWS SETUP should not be run in WIN 95 system, WIN 95 has 
its own CD-ROM driver built in,.

The line 

MSCDEX.EXE /D:ADVCD0

Should be added to AUTOEXEC.BAT.  The /D parameter provides MSCDEX 
with the device name assigned to the CD-ROM driver. The MS-DOS drive 
letters assigned to the CD Drive(s) start after the last logical hard 
disk drive.  Additional information on MSCDEX.EXE usage is available 
in the Programmer Guide for MSCDEX or directly from on-line help in 
MS-DOS 6.X.  

Note - The Windows and DOS based install programs will take 
care of installing ADVANCD and MSCDEX, plus make all needed 
modifications to CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT.

	CD-ROM Driver Operation
	=======================

An MS-DOS CD-ROM driver is a translation layer that fits 
between the Microsoft CD-ROM extensions (MSCDEX) and the 
hardware-specific device manager (ADVASPI).  It translates 
CD-ROM commands to ASPI commands, then translates ASPI 
completion to CD-ROM completion.  It is normally called by 
MSCDEX, but can be called directly from applications.  For more 
information, see the MSCDEX Programmer Specification published 
by Microsoft.
