MSCDEX.EXE is the program used to make your CD-ROM avaliable to
    DOS.  his line goes into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

The command format is as follows :

     [drive:][path]mscdex [/M:n][/E][/V][/L:drive_letter]

     where

     /D:device_name      specifies a name for the device driver.
                         This name must be identical to the
                         device_name used in the CONFIG.SYS file.

     /M:n                specifies the number of buffers to be
                         used to cache the CD-ROM disc.

                         Typically,  each drive should have a
                         minimum of 4 to 5 buffers.  The larger
                         this number,  the less your PC will have
                         to read directly from the CD-ROM drive.
                         The recommended value is 15.

     /E                  tells MSCDEX.EXE to use expanded memory
                         if your system has expanded memory
                         available.

     /V                  specify this switch if you wish to
                         display information about memory usage.

     /L:drive_letter     specifies the letter you wish to assign
                         to the first CD-ROM drive.  The default
                         is the next drive letter available.

     Example- C:\SBPRO\DRV\MSCDEX /V /E /D:MSCD001 /M:15 /L:D



I M P O R T A N T   N O T E S :

What version of DOS you have will determine what version of MSCDEX
you need.  If you have MS-DOS v6.0, use the version that was included.
It is located in your C:\DOS directory.  If you have MS-DOS v5.0 or
earlier, you need MSCDEX v2.21, the version in this archive.  Follow
the above instructions to install it.  If you are not using MS-DOS,
such as DR-DOS, IBM DOS, or Novell DOS, contact their tech support
and find out what driver you should be using that is comparable to
MSCDEX.EXE.
