**********************************************************************

We have found that raw reads of non-ISO 9660 CDs fail under CDFS
(Windows 95's alternative to MSCDEX). This situation makes it
impossible to play CD-i Digital Video Movie (GreenBook) titles.

It is possible to work around this situation by reconfiguring your PC
to use MSCDEX instead of CDFS, but there are some considerations:
- MSCDEX is slower than CDFS;
- because the CD-ROM driver must be loaded in REAL mode, system
  performance is slightly slowed;
- some CD-ROM drivers/drives may not work with GreenBook CD-i titles
  even after the reconfiguration; replacement of the CD-ROM driver/drive
  may be necessary to enable playback of GreenBook titles;
- There may be other ill effects of which we are currently unaware.

*  DISCLAIMER:
*  Because of these considerations, we strongly recommend that you
*  back-up your PC's file system prior to performing the reconfiguration.

**********************************************************************
To enable reading of GreenBook CDi titles from within Windows 95,
complete the following steps (you must have a properly functioning
CD in your PC before completing these steps):

- Type the CONFIG.SYS file on the root of your Windows 95 boot drive,
  and note the line that loads your PC's CD-ROM driver; e.g., the
  following command types the config.sys file:
    type c:\config.sys
  And the following line loads the CD-ROM driver:
    DEVICE=C:\UTILS\SCSI\ASPICD.SYS /D:ASPICD0
- Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the root of your Windows 95 boot drive,
  and add a line that loads the MSCDEX program, e.g.:
    <PATH>MSCDEX.EXE /D:<DRIVER>
  Where <PATH> is the path to the MSCDEX program,
  and <DRIVER> is the name of the driver specified in your PC's
  CONFIG.SYS file, e.g.:
    C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:ASPICD0
- Edit the IOS.INI in your PC's Windows 95 directory, and find 
  the line that specifies your PC's CD-ROM driver, e.g.:
    aspicd.sys	; adaptec PM driver exists
  If this line appears in the [SafeList] section of the file, move it from
  the [SafeList] section to the [CDUnsafe] section; e.g.: after you move
  the line, your IOS.INI file should have lines that look like this:
    [CDUnsafe]
    aspicd.sys	; adaptec PM driver exists
- Reboot your PC.
