                 CD-ROM INSTALLATION LATEST INFORMATION
                 ======================================

This file contains information not available during the printing of
the manual.  Please read it's contents before you proceed with any
installation procedure.


This file contains the following sections :

   1. QuickCD
   2. I/O port address


1. QUICKCD
   
   The QuickCD application plays audio CDs in DOS and Windows. The
   mixer button in the Windows QuickCD will not be supported if you
   do not have a Sound Blaster Pro or Sound Blaster 16.


2. I/O PORT ADDRESS

   When you connect your audio card to the drive, you need to
   define the port that your card's IDE interface uses.  There
   are four IDE ports from which you can select: Primary,
   Secondary, Tertiary and Quaternary.
   These ports are industry standards for the combination of
   I/O addresses and IRQ line used by your IDE interface
   (see Table 1-1).

   Table 1-1: Standard settings for the respective IDE ports.

   IDE Port            IRQ Lines   I/O Addresses Used

   Primary             14          1F0H to 1F7H, 3F6H to 3F7H
   Secondary (Default) 15          170H to 177H, 376H to 377H
   Tertiary            11 or 12    1E8H to 1EFH
   Quaternary          10 or 11    168H to 16FH

   The names of these IDE ports do not indicate any kind of sequence
   for adding IDE devices.  Also, you can only connect two IDE devices
   to each IDE port in a system. These devices will use the same I/O
   addresses and IRQ line.

   The primary port should be used only if the IDE device is connected
   to the hard disk controller card.
