TITLE :Configuring MSCDEX for Multiple CD-ROM Drives
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions (MSCDEX) can control multiple CD-ROM
drives. To configure your system to do this, you must make some
adjustments to the parameters on your CD-ROM driver in the CONFIG.SYS
file and to the MSCDEX command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
More Information:
MSCDEX uses the /D:MSCDxxx parameter to differentiate between the
drives. For example, the following commands assign the Creative Labs
CD-ROM driver (SBPCD.SYS) to drive m and the external CD-ROM
(TSLCDR.SYS) to drive n:
CONFIG.SYS File
---------------
device=c:\sbpro\sbpcd.sys /d:mscd001 /p:220
device=c:\scsi\tslcdr.sys /d:mscd000
AUTOEXEC.BAT File
-----------------
mscdex /d:mscd001 /l:m /d:mscd000 /l:n
Note: Because MS-DOS treats CD-ROM drives like network drives, you can
assign them to any available drive letter.
