(Hardware: SCSI Controller)
With the following two examples we demonstrate how to install a CD-ROM drive for use
with the ICP Controller under MS-DOS and Windows. The installation differs slightly, de-
pending on whether you use the corelSCSI software or the ASW software. Regardless of
which software you choose to use, the ASPI manager of the ICP Controller (located on the
GDT System Disk - DOS) has to be loaded from the CONFIG.SYS file. The objective of both
installations is to make the CD-ROM drive accessible as a drive (for example drive E) under
MS-DOS or Windows, and to be able to access this drive just as if it were a (write-
protected) floppy disk in drive A or B.
At this point we presume that the CD-ROM drive has been properly connected to the ICP
Controller. This includes that the SCSI-ID and the SCSI bus terminators are set in accor-
dance with the settings of the already existing SCSI devices (i. e., the SCSI-ID chosen for
the CD-ROM drive is not occupied by another device; resistor terminators are located only
at the two ends of the SCSI bus).

The GDTX000.EXE driver is loaded from the first line following the HIMEM.SYS command
of the CONFIG.SYS file. Loading the SETVER driver (part of MS-DOS) allows older versions
of Microsoft's CD-ROM translation program MSCDEX (loaded from AUTOEXEC.BAT) to run
trouble-free with the MS-DOS version currently installed. The next line loads the GDT ASPI
Manager GDTASPI.EXE. Next, the ASPICD module for the CD-ROM drive is loaded. The pa-
rameter "/D:CD-ROM" has nothing to do with a drive name, it only serves as a recognition
