| Hardware | Parameter |
| Mitsumi CD-ROM | mcd=port,irq |
| Sony CDU 31 or 33 CD-ROM | cdu31a_port=base_addr cdu31a_irq=irq |
| Aztech CD268 | aztcd=port |
| SB Pro or 16 compatible | sbpcd=io_addr,sb_pro_setting |
| ATAPI/IDE CD-ROM Drives | hdx=cdrom |
Examples of the above would be:
| Configuration | Example |
| non-IDE Mitsumi CD-ROM on port 340, IRQ 11 | mcd=0x340,11 |
| Sony CDU 31 or 33 at port 340, no IRQ | cdu31a_port=0x340 cdu31a_irq=0 |
| Aztech CD-ROM at port 220 | aztcd=0x220 |
| ATAPI CD-ROM, jumpered as master on 2nd interface | hdc=cdrom |
| Panasonic-type CD-ROM on a SoundBlaster at port 230 | sbpcd=0x230,1 |
Please Note: Most newer Sound Blaster cards come with IDE interfaces. You do not need to use sbpcd parameters, only use hdx parameters.
