Windows NT Performance Slows with NEC CD-ROM Reader (93982)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
This article was previously published under Q93982 SUMMARY
NEC Intersect CD-ROM readers have a switch that allows the system to
disconnect the reader. This switch is normally set to OFF, which means
that disconnects are disabled and no other devices on that SCSI bus
can be accessed while the CD-ROM is being read.
Because reading from the NEC reader can take a significant amount of time,
having this switch disabled may noticeably degrade your system's
performance, even when the CD-ROM reader is not in use.
If you notice that your system slows down when you access your CD-ROM
reader, you need to set this switch to ON (enabled). The disconnect switch
is switch number 5, located in a box labeled SW1.
