Hi, I use the following: a) in DOSEMU devicehigh=c:\dosemu\cdrom.sys b) in plain DOS DEVICEHIGH=C:\bin\SSCDROM.SYS /D:CDROM001 /V /S:170,15,1 (SSCDROM came with one of my drives, so why not use it?) c) in vanilla installs devicehigh=c:\freedos\bin\atapicdd.sys ... (sorry, forgot the exact syntax but it does work, ALTHOUGH it does detect a single IDE master drive as "IDE master" working drive and defunct "IDE slave" ghost drive in some cases)
In autoexec: if not exist CDRCACH$ goto nocdcache lh c:\freedos\bin\shsucdx.exe /D:CDRCACH$,N goto nocdromfound :nocdcache if not exist CDROM001 goto nocdromfound lh c:\freedos\bin\shsucdx.exe /D:CDROM001,N :nocdromfound This uses my CD ROM cache which is loaded in config: DEVICEHIGH=C:\freedos\bin\CDRcache.sys CDROM001 CDRCACH$ 16 The CD ROM cache can be controlled with ECHO: echo ? > cdrcach$ makes the cache write the help screen to the screen.
