I have setup a virtual disk using VMWare under Windows 2000 and would like a a CD-ROM device driver for DOS that will run my DVD drive (compatible with CDROM) under DOS. I know I can find one on the Win 95 or 98 setup disks and copy to a floppy but was wondering whether there was something better on the Web.
