CD_INIT
Syntax |
CD_INIT [name$] |
Location |
SMSQ/E for QPC |
QPC is able to use a CD player linked to a PC in order to play Audio CDs at present.
You first of all need to initialise the CD drive by using this command. CD_INIT causes QPC to seach for a CD-ROM drive and initialise the driver.
You can either pass the name of the drive as a parameter or, if you do not use name$, then QPC will use the PC program MSCDEX (if present) to locate the CD-ROM Drive. MSCDEX can be loaded in the PC file AUTOEXEC.BAT if you wish, otherwise the CD drive name must appear in the PC file CONFIG.SYS.
Example
CD_INIT ‘mscd001’
NOTE 1
This command will only be recognised once.
NOTE 2
The CD player commands and functions will not work if you have not loaded the PC’s CD-ROM driver in config.sys, for example with the line:
DEVICE=C:\CD\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:MSCD001
CROSS-REFERENCE
CD_PLAY allows you to play CD Audio tracks.
CD_EJECT ejects a disk from the drive, or allows you to insert a new disk.
