Special Issues
for IBM-PC & Compatible Users
These are some special issues that may be encountered with IBM-PC &
compatible computers when connecting a Pioneer CD-ROM Changer:
Third Party Device Drivers
A number of third party device drivers are available for different operating systems.
Please refer to Pioneer
Product Information Bulletin #25. This document is also
available on the Pioneer LaserFacts System by ordering document number 34 024
and 34 025. See Appendix E for information about the Pioneer LaserFacts System.
Also, see Appendix F for Pioneer Technical Resource Numbers.
Networking
Using a Pioneer CD-ROM Changer as a network resource may require third party
software. A list of several companies and their software products has been
compiled as a resource. It is available as Pioneer Product Information Bulletin
#25. This document is also available on the Pioneer LaserFacts System by
ordering document number 34 024 and 34 025. See Appendix E for information
about the Pioneer LaserFacts System. See Appendix F for Pioneer Technical
Resource Numbers.
Maximizing Performance
• Setting High memory; Buffer Sizes
On the first installation, simplify the process by not using high memory or cache
buffers. This will help you get the system up and running faster. Once the system
is running smoothly, feel free to experiment with loading into high memory and
conserving DOS operating space. To use High Memory, use the /E switch in the
device driver line in the CONFIG.SYS and for the MSCDEX device line in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT.
You can also set MSCDEX buffers to different sizes by using the /M: switch in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT. Each number in the /M switch represents 2KB of memory.
MSCDEX automatically allocates 8 KB into memory per disc. So using the /M
switch is redundant and uses extra memory. With the /E: switch on, it will allocate
this into EMS memory.
