     My system uses a RAMFast SCSI interface card and an Nec 2x CD ROM
drive from Alltech. To get this kind of system going, you need ...

1- The RAMFast CD ROM driver file in Media.Control folder which is in
SYSTEM/DRIVERS

2- The MediaControl control panel file in SYSTEM/CDEVS

3- The Media.Control.DA desk accessory file in SYSTEM/DESK.ACCS.

4- The Slot in which RAMFast is located must be set to "Your Card"

5- Stereo headphones, speakers, or hi-fi cables need to be plugged into
the CD ROM drive. Most drives have a mini-stereo socket in the front. The
plug for your headphones, etc. must be a stereo plug.

     Once the above items are checked, Shut Down your IIgs. Turn it OFF.
Turn OFF the CD ROM drive. Wait 10-20 seconds. Turn ON the CD ROM Drive.
Wait a few seconds and turn ON your IIgs.

     Reboot the system. Click on Control Panels in the Apple Menu. Select
the Media Ctrl control panel. I have "1" for Media Channel, "RF.NEC" (the
name of the driver) for Media Device, and "GAME PORT" for Port. After
entering your settings, close the panel. This will save your setup in a
file named "Media.Setup" in the same Media.Control folder which contains
your driver.

     From the Apple Menu click on Media Controller to show the CD ROM
player. Click Channel 1, the name of your CD ROM driver sould show in the
player display. Insert a CD. Click Play and adjust the volume on the
drive.
