i cant seem to get the cdrom reading.. could someone post the lines to put in autoexec and config.sys..? thanks.

Autoexec.bat......... a:\cdrom\MSCDEX /D:SSCD000 rem mode con codepage prepare=((850) rem mode con codepage select=850 rem keyb uk,,keyboard.sys this is a .bat I wrote that might help... ren c:\config.sys config.000 ren c:\autoexec.bat autoexec.000 copy a:\config.rdb c:\config.sys /y copy a:\autoexec.rdb c:autoexec.bat /y c: md cdrom a: cd cdrom copy a:\himem.sys c:\cdrom copy *.* c:\cdrom

Ummm? Anyway, for a base CD-ROM supporting autoexec.bat and config.sys, they will look like and need the following. These are the files you will need to know the location of... The CD-ROM driver's *.sys file mscdex.exe himem.sys (not necessary but a good idea) ...and the files will look like... [config.sys] device=drive_letter:\file_path\himem.sys devicehigh=drive_letter:\file_path\cdrom_driver_sys /d:cdrom01 [autoexec.bat] lh drive_letter:\file_path\mscdex.exe /d:cdrom01 /l:drive_letter_for_cdrom Ok, a quick explanation. "drive_letter" refers to the drive on which the file in question resides. If you are making a boot disk, that would probably be A:\. If you're trying to get the hard drive to boot it, it'll probably be C:\. Next is "file_path". This just refers to the path to the file in question. Let's say you have MS-DOS 6.22 installed. In that state, himem.sys and mscdex.exe will be located at "c:\dos". The "file_path" portion would be "dos". The final "fill in the blank value" is "drive_letter_for_cdrom". This is simply an unused drive letter that you wish the CD-ROM to occupy. Most of the time it's D:\ - and as such, that value would be filled in as "/l:d". If you get too big of a letter, you may want to add a final line to config.sys as "lastdrive=z" to make sure you have the memory you'll need allocated. Oops, skipped an important one - "cdrom_driver_sys". Since I don't know what driver you have for your CD-ROM - or even if you have one, I'll tell how mine looks. I have a *.sys file called "nec_ide.sys" for one of my computers. I usually copy that to c:\dos to keep it in a known place. So for me, "cdrom_driver_sys" would be "nec_ide.sys". The "/d:" in both config.sys and autoexec.bat must be identical as they denote the driver name that ties those two together. The "/l:" in autoexec.bat specifies the drive letter for the CD-ROM to occupy as explained above. So a final autoexec.bat and config.sys as it would appear on my system... [config.sys] device=c:\dos\himem.sys devicehigh=c:\dos\nec_ide.sys /d:cdrom01 [autoexec.bat] lh c:\dos\mscdex.exe /d:cdrom01 /l:d Tada!

I need to find a device driver "SSCD000". Can you help me?
