16-bit Dos driver Instruction for DQ965GF Support for 16bit drivers to enable an Optical drive in DOS with the new Marvell controller. Attached you will find a older version of the Creative Technology SBIDE.sys driver. Along with the correct information in a config.sys file to get cdrom drive to work in DOS. . Below is what you need to do to find the correct information. Please note the last string of number is for the secondary IDE channel and can be anything. Device shows up in PCI.exe as “Galileo Technology” 1. Attach CD-ROM drive to Marvell PATA as master drive. 2. Boot the system to DOS. 3. Using a DOS PCI configuration tool (like PCI.EXE PCIEX.EXE) get the following values from the Marvell PATA controller. Most likely, the Marvell PATA controller will be at bus 0x02, device 0x00, function 0x00: A. Base address 0 of the Marvell PATA. This will be a DWORD value at PCI register 0x10. Clear bit0 of this value and record the number. For example, if the values of PCI register 0x10 is 0x1019, record 0x1018. B. IRQ assigned to the Marvell device. This BYTE value will be in register 0x3C. This value needs to be read from DOS and not Windows as Windows will change this value when it switches the system to ACPI APIC mode. C. Base address 2 of the Marvell PATA. This will be a DWORD value at PCI register 0x20. Clear bit0 of this value and record the number. For example, if the value of PCI register 0x10 is 0x1011, record 0x1010. 4. After the values are obtained, edit CONFIG.SYS to run SBIDE.SYS with those values: DEVICE=SBIDE.SYS /V /D:nnn /P:xxxx,yy,zzzz where nnn is the CD device name, xxxx is the I/O base address (in hex) found in step A above, yy is the IRQ value (in decimal) found in step B above, and zzz is the I/O base address (in hex) found in step C above. For example, on my passing setup I had the following line in CONFIG.SYS: DEVICE=SBIDE.SYS /V /D:CD001 /P:1018,10,1010 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example- Following line in AUTOEXEC.BAT & CONFIG.SYS AUTOEXEC.BAT- MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 CONFIG.SYS- DEVICE=SBIDE.SYS /V /D: MSCD001 /P:1018,10,1010
