You will need a bootdisc with the "real mode drivers" for dos that
will operate your CD ROM....there are several generic drivers there
that will likely work...you may have to try several...these are
different than the windows 95 drivers and work in a small dos
environment that will be on the bootdisk image that you download.
I wont try to put more details here as it is all in the instructions
there.
