BOOT DISC PROCEDURES FOR MS-DOS AND CD-ROM DRIVES

Dear MicroProse Customer,

Thank you for purchasing a MicroProse game for your software collection.  
In order to solve your current memory related problems please follow the 
instructions on the following pages to create a special system boot disc.

IMPORTANT:  In order to maintain 100% compatibility please ensure that 
you are using a Microsoft mouse driver, MOUSE.COM v8.20 or higher.

1.      Place a blank high density disc in drive A: and type;
		format  a:  /s  <enter>

2.      Now type,
		edit  a:\config.sys  <enter>

3.      Now type,
		device=c:\dos\himem.sys
		device=c:\dos\emm386.exe  2048  ram  i=e000-efff
		dos=high,umb
		files=30
		buffers=30
		:CD ROM DRIVERS LOADED ON THIS LINE*
		stacks=0,0

	* In order to access your CD ROM drive, one must modify this 
	line to load the relevant CD ROM driver into upper memory.  
	Please refer to the attached sheet for help on doing this.  
	Note the second sheet contains ONLY example lines!

4.      Save this file by pressing, ALT, then F, then X, then ENTER.

5.      Now type,
		edit  a:\autoexec.bat <enter>

6.      Now type,
		prompt $p$g
		path=c:\dos;
		:CD ROM DRIVERS LOADED ON THIS LINE*
		loadhigh c:\dos\mouse.com**
		c:
		mem

	* In order to access your CD ROM drive, one must modify this 
	line to load the MSCDEX.EXE program into upper memory.  Please 
	refer to the attached sheet for help on doing this.
	** If your mouse driver, is not located in the DOS directory them 
	simply change this line to point to the correct directory.  Your 
	MS-DOS manual can help you here if you are unsure about doing this.

7.      Save this file by pressing, ALT, then F, then X, then ENTER.

8.      The boot disc is now ready.  Leave it in drive A: and reboot 
	the computer.



TIPS FOR CD-ROM USERS WHEN MAKING A BOOT DISC

Creating a system boot disc for your computer using a CD-ROM driver can 
be a little tricky because of a lack of a standard driver name. In other 
words, for each brand of CD-ROM drive, there is a different set of commands 
that you will have to use in the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.  Below 
is a list of the most common drivers, however if your CD-ROM drive is a 
different brand, or the following commands do not work (some brands have 
different models) please refer to your CD-ROM drive documentation on how 
to load the drivers for your particular CD-ROM drive.  Note that these are 
only examples.  Please check your current configuration for the exact line 
details.

The CONFIG.SYS file

You must load the vendor-specific driver for your drive in the CONFIG.SYS 
file:

The MediaVision (Pro-Audio Spectrum) CD-ROM will use the following lines:
	devicehigh=c:\proaudio\tslcdr.sys  /d:mvcd001  /r  /s:31
	devicehigh=c:\proaudio\mvsound.sys  d:1  q:7

The Creative Labs (Soundblaster) CD-ROM uses this line:
	devicehigh=c:\sbpro\drv\sbpcd.sys  /d:mscd001  /p:220

The NEC CD-ROM drives use this line:
	devicehigh=c:\scsi\neccdr.sys  /d:neccd

The Sony Laser Library CD-ROM will use this line:
	devicehigh=c:\laserlib\sony_cdu.sys  /d:sony_001  /b:340  /q:*  /t:*  /m:h


The AUTOEXEC.BAT file

You must load the Microsoft CD-ROM driver, MSCDEX, in the AUTOEXEC.BAT 
file:

The MediaVision (Pro-Audio Spectrum) CD-ROM uses this line:
	loadhigh  c:\proaudio\mscdex.exe  /d:mvcd001  /L:d  /m:8  /v

The Creative Labs (Soundblaster) CD-ROM drive will use the following lines:
	set sound=c:\sbpro
	loadhigh  c:\sbpro\drv\mscdex.exe  d:/mscd001  /L:d  /v

For the NEC CD-ROM drives add the following line:
	loadhigh  c:\scsi\mscdex.exe  /d:neccd  /m:8  /L:d  /v

For Sony Laser Library CD-ROM drives add the following line
	loadhigh  c:\laserlib\mscdex.exe  d:sony_001  /L:e  /m:8  /v

MS-DOS 6.0/6.2/6.21 users should load MSCDEX.EXE from the DOS directory 
instead.  eg,
	loadhigh  c:\dos\mscdex.exe  d:mscd001  /L:d  /v
