CSD update for POST RELEASE Multimedia Modem V1.02
==================================================
RELEASE DATE: June 30, 1995
The following OS/2 Mwave updates have been made since the release of
the OBI Multimedia Modem v1.02 retail product. This CSD includes the
following fixes and enhancements:
A. Installation, configuration, and uninstall program improvements for
OS/2. These include:
- Fix for OS/2 CD-ROM initialization problem: The CD-ROM in OS/2 is not
initialized when the system is powered up. (In V1.02, the workaround
is to shutdown OS/2 and warm boot the system after powering up. The
CD-ROM is initialized during this second boot.)
- Installs the new board driver to the proper location and adds the
required "BASEDEV" line for MWBD0700.SYS to the CONFIG.SYS. (The
BASEDEV update will only occur if the user does any future
installations from the diskettes.)
- Displays warning that uninstalling Mwave for OS/2 will make Mwave in
WIN-OS/2 inoperable. The user is advised to uninstall Mwave in
WIN-OS/2.
- Adds Multimedia Modem path if it is not detected in CONFIG.SYS. The
install program checks to see if the following files exist: MDM.DLL,
MMPM2.INI, IBMLANLK.EXE, and IBMLANLK.
- Adds message string asking the user if the installation program should
automatically check the CONFIG.SYS.
- Changes OBI default configuration settings for the board.
B. Aura: Aura in OS/2 no longer closes when a MIDI application is run.
(This created problems when other Mwave functions were opened.) Also,
an Aura names string is changed from "MIDI" to "OS/2 MIDI Player".
C. Variety of Windows install and uninstall program upgrades:
- Minimum memory requirement modified from 3900 to 3500 bytes.
- Ignores COM port driver statements in CONFIG.SYS when they are
remarked out (needed for WIN-OS/2 installation.)
- Dialog string changed to display appropriate label.
- Uninstall program removes the board driver only from the directory
where the configuration files are located. The program no longer
depends on CONFIG.SYS to provide the board directory location.
D. Improved COM IRQ checking algorithm for Windows configurator program.
E. Correction of MAKEBOOT process for Mwave DOS games.
To install the new files, do the following:
1. Create a directory on your hard disk called CSD.
Type "MKDIR CSD".
2. Change to the CSD directory.
Type "CD CSD".
3. Unzip the CSDV102C.ZIP file.
Type "PKUNZIP -D x:CSDV102C.ZIP", where x is the location of the
CSDV102C.ZIP file.
4. Type "DIR". The list of files you see should appears as follows:
CSDV102DTXT
DOS
OS2
WINDOWS
5. Install the fixes. The files used to fix each of the three
problems listed above are given, along with the method to install them.
NOTE: In the directions below, A: is assumed to be the diskette drive
and C:\DSP2 is assumed to be the default directory chosen for
the Multimedia Modem code installation. If your drives and
directory are different. modify the directions accordingly.
A. Installation, configuration, and uninstall program improvements for
OS/2. (Follow the steps for "A" if you have Mwave for OS/2 installed.)
A-1. From the CSD directory, type "CD OS2". Type "DIR". The list of
files should be:
MWBD0700 SYS 5686 4-28-95 10:39a
CONFIGO EXE 179242 6-14-95 5:05p
CARD LIB 46811 6-27-95 10:59a
SETUP MSG 8625 5-30-95 6:40p
SETUP INS 56269 5-30-95 6:51p
AURAMON EXE 103440 5-09-95 3:51p
AURAAUTO CFG 1064 5-11-95 2:42p
A-2. Type "CD C:\DSP2\MWOS2\BIN".
A-3. Type "RENAME CONFIGO.EXE
CONFIGO.BAK".
A-4. Type "COPY C:\CSD\OS2\CONFIGO.EXE".
A-5. Type "CD C:\CSD\OS2".
A-6. If you are running OS/2 WARP, type "COPY MWBD0700.SYS

If you are running OS/2 2.11, type "COPY MWBD0700.SYS C:\OS2".
A-7. Remove the old copy of the MWBD0700.SYS from your system.
Type "RENAME C:\DSP2\MWOS2\BIN\MWBD0700.SYS MWBD0700.BAK." Note
that the old MWBD0700.SYS file is in a different directory than
the new one. The old file MUST be renamed or deleted or the
fix will not work properly.
A-8. Edit your system's CONFIG.SYS to pick up the new board driver.
Change the line:
DEVICE=C:\DSP2\MWOS2\BIN\MWBD0700.SYS BUS=1150000
to:
BASEDEV=MWBD0700.SYS BUS=1150000
NOTE: If you perform an installation from your diskettes in
the future, the new board driver will be loaded automatically
and the new BASEDEV statement will be added to the CONFIG.SYS
automatically, as long as you complete step A-9 below.
A-9. From the command line, type "CD C:\CSD\OS2". Insert your
"Mwave for OS/2 Disk 1" into the diskette drive. Next, type
the following series of commands:
"COPY SETUP.* A:".
"COPY CARD.LIB A:"
B. AURA fixes for OS/2. (Follow the steps for "B" if you have
Mwave for OS/2 installed.)

B-2. Type the following series of commands:
"RENAME AURAAUTO.CFG AURAAUTO.BAK".
"COPY C:\CSD\AURAAUTO.CFG".
"COPY C:\CSD\OS2\AURAMON.EXE".
You will be overwriting the current version of AURAMON.EXE.
