Louis Thank you for your reply. Very useful background information for me.
In my case I think I will just stick with removing AHCICD.sys (simply by renaming) when I know that I will use USB BOOT stick on computer without optical drive (which is < 1% of the time). So for my laptop with optical drive (which I use >99% of time for DOS) the system will BOOT up OK with the AHCICD.sys present.

CONFIG.SYS does not work like that. It looks like a script or batch file but it mostly isn't. But it does a have a MENU capability (http://www.freedos.org/kernel/config.txt). There's a few examples there as well as at Phil's Computer Lab (https://www.philscomputerlab.com/ms-dos-starter-pack.html).

Any way to do an error check thing instead of always needing to be present to accept or reject device AHCICD.sys? I have not worked out/understand how FreeDOS does it automatically for the 4 CD options - be nice to apply this method to my 5th CD device (AHCICD.sys) . Otherwise for totally automated unattended operation I simply removed the AHCICD.sys file and the laptop without optical drive does boot up OK.
