Command: atapicdd.sys
ATAPICDD.SYS is a generic CD-ROM driver for IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI).
It is still under development. Please use UIDE.SYS instead.
ATAPICDD.SYS has to be loaded in CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS.
When FreeDOS is already running, you can load ATAPICDD.SYS later
with DEVLOAD.
ATAPICDD.SYS is out of date. You should use UIDE.SYS instead.
Syntax:
device=[drive][path]atapicdd.sys [options]
drive the drive letter, e.g. C:
path the directory, e.g. \example\
Options:
/D:name Sets the device name to "name". Default value: FDCD0000.
This name must also be mentioned in autoexec.bat when
loading shsucdx / mscdex.
/N:x Sets the number of devices to look for to x. Default value: 1
Comments:
ATAPICDD.SYS is loaded in CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS.
The option /D: xxxxyyyy must be the same as in SHSUCDX
(MSCDEX) which is loaded in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Examples:
IN CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS:
device=c:\fdos\bin\atapicdd.sys /d: fdc0000 /n:2
