I use the ONE USB BOOT stick for two laptops (only one has an optical drive).

I was able to recognize the optical drive by simply putting AHCICD.sys into the 
\FreeDOS\BIN\ folder (on the USB stick) and for the laptop with the optical 
drive, the system boots up nicely.

However, because I want to use the ONE USB stick for both machines, now on the 
second laptop (without optical drive), on bootup, the computer locks up at the 
AHCICD.sys stage. When the AHCICD.sys file is simply removed, the usual FreeDOS 
checking on 4 CD possibilities "errors out" in a controlled manner and allows 
continuation of the BOOT-up.

So how can I have this 5th CD check (i.e. checking via AHCICD.sys) in the 
manner of the 4 CD checks already in FreeDOS.

Robert here. I noticed, TP7P5FIX is not working for all software, but I
didn't investigate this.

I had good results with
