- You need the MSCDEX.COM (or .EXE?) driver in you autoexec.bat (or
- whereever) installed. I think it comes with the extra Adaptec drivers
- (Adaptec and Corel got together am produced a packet of drivers).
- This will allow you to configure DOS with the CD-ROM as a normal
- DOS drive (such as E:).
