Blaster CD 8x - Creative

MSCDEX.EXE
Select the primary port only if you connect the drive to the
primary hard disk controller. Also, you can only connect two
IDE devices to each IDE port in a system; the names of these
IDE ports do not indicate a sequence for adding IDE devices.
The /P switch is not required with the SBIDE.SYS driver when
connected to the hard disk controller.
The syntax of the MSCDEX.EXE statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT is:
C:\path\MSCDEX.EXE /D:device /M:xx [/L:drive] [/E] /V
[ ] (brackets) indicate an optional parameter. After making changes to
the statement, reboot your system for the changes to take effect.
Parameter Description
path Directory for the CD-ROM software. Default is C:\SBCD.
/D:driver1
[/D:driver2.
..]
Name of the CD-ROM drive; must be identical to the device
name in the CONFIG.SYS file. Default is /D:MSCD001.
Additional drivers (driver2...) can be named in the same
MSCDEX command.
/E Use expanded memory, if available. (Only applies to Expanded
Memory Manager LIM version 3.2 or later.)
/K Directs MS-DOS to recognize CD-ROMs encoded in Kanji.
By default, MS-DOS does not recognize Kanji CD-ROMs.
/S Enables sharing of CD-ROM drives on MS-NET or Windows
for Workgroups servers.
/V Displays summary of RAM and memory allocation at boot.
/L:letter Letter assigned to the CD-ROM drive. If not specified, the next
available letter is used. If you have included the LASTDRIVE
statement in your CONFIG.SYS file, the letter designated with
the MSCDEX line must fall within the specified range.
/M:xx Number of buffers for temporary storage of data. xx ranges
from 2 to 30. CD-ROM drive performance increases with the
value of xx; too many buffers may impact programs with large
memory requirements.
