Gang,

Anyone know of a CD driver for DOS. I am using DOS 7.01 and would rather move my old PC stuff off CD than a boat load of floppies.

Thanks
Gordon

Ok I got this to work so everyone interested here goes:

http://www.computerhope.com/cdromd.htm

I loaded the standard generic cd rom driver in m y config.sys. This is the gscdrom.sys or something like that specified for like Gold Star cd drive.

The page tells you how too load it in config.sys

LOADHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001

CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICEHIGH=C:\CD-ROM\NEC_IDE.SYS /D:MSCD001

~~~~~~~~

I did not bother using loadhi I don't have the memory set up or tried as of yet.

But anyway it looks like I have had success in moving all my stuff over.

Thanks,
Gordon

Thanks for the pointer. I downloaded the driver from that website at this page: http://www.computerhope.com/download/hardware.htm

The driver is gscdrom.sys and can be found at this link: http://www.computerhope.com/download/hardware/gscdrom.sys

I edited my config.sys to add this line:
devicehigh=c:\gscdrom.sys /d:mscd001

And my autoexec.bat:
loadhigh=c:\dos\mscdex.exe /d:mscd001

And my CD drive works invirtual DOS!
