I'd think that a generic CONFIG.SYS & AUTOEXEC.BAT entries like the following would work: CONFIG.SYS: DEVICE=DRIVER.SYS /D:CDDRIVE1 AUTOEXEC.BAT: MSCDEX /D:CDDRIVE1 Where DRIVER.SYS is replaced with the proper CD-ROM driver name & path thereto. -- Grant. . . . unix || die

Information on MSCDEX.EXE paramaters can be found below. https://www.easydos.com/mscdex.html The OAKCDROM.SYS which come with Windows 9x/ME should be universal for ATAPI based C/DVD drives. It's parameter can be found in below forum post. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=755856#p755856 But after disassembling the driver, I found that the /P switch has a third optional value 0 or 1, which I don't know what it is used for. IME, among other ATAPI C/DVD drivers, OAKCDROM.SYS is the most stable one and would work for many drives, although it's not the most efficient in memory usage.
