Shining Technology CitiROM PCMCIA/CARDBUS to IDE Adapter Information

	This document contains information pertaining to installation and use 
of your CitiROM PCMCIA/CARDBUS to IDE Adapter under Windows 95, Windows 98, 
Windows Me, Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000.

DRIVER INSTALLATION

	Before using your new CitiROM/CitiDISK, you must first install drivers 
for it.  The easiest procedure is to install drivers using the AutoInstaller 
BEFORE attaching your new hardware.  The AutoInstaller will automatically detect
which operating system you are using, and install appropriate device drivers 
and system upgrades.  The AutoInstaller will also fix many system 
configuration problems, such as removing old or incompatible drivers for the 
device.
	Using the AutoInstaller to install drivers for your new Shining 
Technology hardware is easy to do.  Simply insert the Shining CD into any CD 
drive, and the splash screen should appear.  From there, click on "Shining 
AutoInstaller" to begin the installation.  If the splash screen does not 
appear, simply double-click on the CD-ROM device within "My Computer" to 
start it.  On Windows NT and Windows 2000 systems, this should be done from 
an account that has "administrator" privileges, or the AutoInstaller be 
unable to install drivers.
	Select the "CitiROM" device from the list of supported devices, and 
click on "Next" to proceed.  Then click on "Install" to begin the 
installation process.  Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the 
installation.  Once the installation begins, the "spinning red dots" image 
indicates that installation is in progress.  Depending on your system's speed 
and other hardware, installation may take several minutes;  please be 
patient.
	Once the driver installation is completed, the AutoInstaller may ask 
you to reboot the computer, or authorize it to perform a necessary operating 
system upgrade.  Simply select "Reboot Now" or "Begin" to continue the 
process.  Once the AutoInstaller finishes, your system is ready to use your 
new device.
	Drivers can also be uninstalled using the AutoInstaller.  Once you have 
started the AutoInstaller and selected your hardware device, simply choose 
"Uninstall" to remove the drivers from your system.  The uninstallation 
process tries to restores your system to the state it had before driver 
installation, to the extent possible, including deletion of both files and 
registry entries.

CONNECTING YOUR NEW CITIROM ADAPTER

	Using your new CitiROM is simple.  If you are using it with Windows 95, 
Windows 98, Windows Me or Windows 2000, use the following list of steps to 
connect your device to the computer:

	1) The CitiROM adapter will support one or two IDE and/or ATAPI 
	   devices.  Make sure that the "master/slave" jumpers of the devices 
	   are set correctly, according to the manufacture's directions.  
	   Generally, if you wish to use two devices, make sure that one is 
	   configured to be a "master" and one a "slave".  When using a single 
	   device, typically the device should be set to be "neutral", if this 
	   is an option;  otherwise, select the "master" configuration.
	2) Select PCMCIA or CARDBUS mode, using the switch on the CitiROM 
	   adapter.  CARDBUS mode is preferred unless your computer does not 
	   support CARDBUS devices.
	3) Connect the IDE cable between the ATAPI and/or IDE device(s) you 
	   wish to use and the CitiROM.  Make sure that this cable is in good 
	   condition, and is properly connected.
	4) Connect power adapters to the device(s), and plug them in.
	5) Last, insert the CitiROM into a compatible PCMCIA/CARDBUS socket to 
	   begin use.

The first time your hardware is used in a particular port on the computer, 
additional installation messages may appear;  please wait for these to 
disappear before attempting to use the device.  Windows 2000 and Windows Me 
may ask you to certify that you wish to use the Shining drivers for this 
device, or report that a reboot is necessary;  simply click on "OK" to 
proceed.

	For Windows NT (versions 3.51 and 4.0), the device must be connected 
before the operating system is booted, for Windows NT is not a Plug-and-Play 
operating system.  Use these steps:

	1) Select PCMCIA mode, using the switch located on the CitiROM adapter.  
	   CARDBUS mode is not supported under NT.
	2) With the computer off, connect the IDE cable between the ATAPI 
	   and/or IDE device(s) you wish to use and the CitiROM adapter.  Make 
	   sure that these cables are in good condition, and connected 
	   properly.
	3) Connect the power adapter to both the device and the CitiROM, and 
	   plug the PCMCIA plug of the CitiROM into a suitable computer port.
	4) Finally, turn on the computer and boot your operating system.

USING YOUR CITIROM ADAPTER

	Devices connected via a Shining Technology adapter can be used just 
like any other device.  For hard drives, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, and other disk-
based storage devices, existing partitions on the media will appear within My 
Computer, and may be used like standard storage partitions.  We recommend 
using the Shining Technology Utilities (also provided on this CD-ROM) for 
partitioning and formatting tasks;  see the accompanying documentation for 
addition information.
	
SPECIAL DEVICE ISSUES

	There are certain minor limitations when using some devices;  these are 
outlined below.

	Large hard disks (over 8 GB) will not work correctly in the original 
release of Windows 95; this is a limitation of the operating system, not the 
Shining adapter or drivers. We recommend upgrading to a more recent O/S to 
address this problem.
	LS-120 devices will appear in "My Computer" with a floppy icon.  
However, these devices otherwise work normally.
	ZIP drives that are ATAPI-based will work with the CitiROM adapter; 
other ZIP devices will not.  Under NT, however, a service pack must be 
installed for ZIP support:

		NT 3.51:  Service pack 5 or higher
		NT 4.0:  Service pack 4 or higher

DISCONNECTING YOUR CITIROM ADAPTER

	It is very important that you DO NOT DISCONNECT THE DEVICE OR THE 
CITIROM ADAPTER WHILE THE DEVICE IS IN USE!  Data loss could occur in such 
circumstances.  Also, for some devices, powering down the device while 
leaving media in the drive may cause damage to the drive or media.  Please 
eject all removable media from a device before disconnecting the adapter or 
shutting off the computer.
	The correct method for disconnecting the Shining adapter depends on the 
operating system your are using:

	Windows NT:  Windows NT does not support device removal during 
	   execution, so the device should not be removed until the computer 
	   has been shut down.
	Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me:  These systems 
	   provide a "remove device" icon within the Task Bar (usually 
	   located in the lower right corner of the screen).  This can be 
	   used to ask the system to stop the device;  consult your 
	   operating system Help for further details.

TROUBLESHOOTING

	If your are having difficulties with your new CitiROM, please try the 
following suggestions:

	1) Make sure you have run the Shining AutoInstaller to install drivers 
	   for the device, as described in the "DRIVER INSTALLATION" section.
	2) Make sure you have attached the device to the computer correctly, as 
	   described in "CONNECTING YOUR HARDWARE DEVICE".
	3) Try reinstalling the drivers, using the same procedure as that 
	   described in the "DRIVER INSTALLATION" section.
	4) Visit www.shining.com, to look for updated drivers for your Shining 
	   adapter.
	5) Technically sophisticated users may find the Frequently Asked 
	   Questions list, located on this CD-ROM with path 
	   \drivers\CitiROM\pcmidefaq.txt helpful in addressing specific issues.
