Software Parameters in the CONFIG.SYS
When the CD-ROM device driver is installed in your computer, the
installation program (UINSTALL.EXE) automatically modifies the
CONFIG.SYS file and AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The following are the
parameters for the CD-ROM device driver for CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=[drive:][path]IBMTPCD.SYS /R [/C] [/S]
The CD-ROM device driver is IBMTPCD.SYS. Make sure this line is
inserted after the EMM386 statement.
/R Enables the resident type device driver. Even when the
CD-ROM drive is not installed at power-on, the device driver
can be loaded in the memory. Remove this option if you
use the CD-ROM drive in a docking station.
[/C] Sets the cache size in the XMS memory. When this
parameter is set, the cache size in the XMS memory is 512
sectors. When it is not set, the default is 0.
[/S] Sets the power-saving mode to OFF. When using DOS
with another operating system (for example, when using it
with OS/2 in dual boot), set the power-saving mode to OFF
using this parameter.
