Remember that FD EMM386 / JEMM386 / JEMMEX have a command line option "SB" which enables compatibility with the SBPCI/SBLive! driver quirks... Read the docs :-). Also you should use a fresh JEMM386 (instead of EMM386 or JEMMEX) and compare to using only HIMEMX (also www.japheth.de) because all EMM drivers can trigger compatibility issues for which you would have to fine-tune the EMM driver options - using no EMM driver at all can be easier. Admittedly it might be required to load EMM drivers for SBPCI... > If I keep MENU 2 from loading that line, it does not detect my > CD/DVD drive at all. Any workaround? It does detect it, but your SHSUCDX or MSCDEX command line options explicitly say "use drive CDRCACH0". If you have no cache loaded, you must tell SHSUCDX to use FDCD0001 directly.
