     The drive installation diskette includes the following files:

     README.TXT	 -- User's guide
     INSTALL.EXE -- CD-ROM installation	program
     ACERCD.SYS	 -- CD-ROM device driver



     II.  Requirements
     =================

     Hardware Requirements
     ---------------------
     1.	IBM PC/AT or compatible	(80386-base system recommended)
     2.	Minimum	EGA graphic display (VGA recommended)
     3.	Minimum	2M RAM recommended
     4.	one free IDE socket
     5.	one CD-ROM drive

     Software Requirement
     --------------------
     1.	Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later
     2.	MS-DOS version 5.0 or later
     3.	MS-DOS CD-Extension (MSCDEX 2.21) or later



     III. Installation Procedures
     ============================

     To	install	CD-ROM device driver, please follow the	steps below:

     1.	Insert the installation	diskette in your system's 3.5-inch floppy
	disk drive.

     2.	Change the directory to	that of	your floppy disk drive,	and type
	the following at the DOS prompt:

	      INSTALL <Enter>

     3.	Follow the screen instructions to complete the installation.

     4.	Reboot system to activate the driver.


     In	general, you can just continually press	the Enter key to install
     the default settings. A directory (default	C:\ACER) containing the
     CD-ROM drivers is created during installation. Your AUTOEXEC.BAT
     and CONFIG.SYS files are also modified to include the following lines:

     CONFIG.SYS	:
	      [common]
	      DEVICE=C:\ACERCD\ACERCD.SYS /D:ACERCD00
	      LASTDRIVE=N


     AUTOEXEC.BAT :
	      C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE	/D:ACERCD00



     IV.  Changing Settings after Installation
     =========================================

     To	reconfigure the	settings of the	CD-ROM driver, use a text editor,
     such as EDIT.COM, to modify the previous two command lines	in CONFIG.SYS
     and AUTOEXEC.BAT and then restart your computer to	activate it.


     Changing the CONFIG.SYS file
     ------------------------------
     DEVICE=<path>\ACERCD.SYS /D:<device_name>

     The <device_name> is the name MSCDEX will use to find the device
     driver. The maximum length	of <device_name> string	is 8 characters.

     Example:
	       DEVICE=C:\MYDRV\ACERCD.SYS /D:ACERCD01


     Changing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
     ----------------------------
     MSCDEX /D:driver [/E] [/K]	[/S] [/V] [/L:letter] [/M:number]

     Example:
	       C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:ACERCD01 /L:G /M:10

     For more information, you can refer to the	MS-DOS online help for MSCDEX
     by	typing HELP MSCDEX.
