SUMMARY

   Preparing Advantage! 800 series computers with the Torisan 
   CDR_C36 CD-ROM changer to use Microsoft's CDCHNGER.EXE in 
   Windows 95.

   This issue applies to Advantage 800-series systems equipped with 
   Torisan CDR_C36 CD-ROM changers.


NOTES

   On April 25, 1996 Microsoft released a new protected-mode driver
   which allows CD-ROM changers to display a drive letter for each of 
   the three CD-ROMS in the cartridge.

   Before installing CDCHNGER.EXE, you will need to remove the Smart
   CD Manager and the protected-mode drivers for the CD-ROM.

   To remove the necessary files, type the following commands at the 
   DOS prompt:

	DEL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS\SCDMGRT3.VXD

	DEL C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\SMARTCD MANAGER.LNK

	DELTREE C:\SCDMGR95

	DELTREE C:\WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\SMARTCD MANAGER

   To install CDCHNGER.EXE, obtain the file from Microsoft's 
   web site at the following location:

       http://www.microsoft.com/kb/softlib/mslfiles/cdchnger.exe

   In Windows 95, run CDCHNGER.EXE and follow the instructions on 
   the screen.
