Is this 'ENABLER' somthing that's common with a lot of CD-ROM manufacturers? I recall David talking about having to download and set up Card Service drivers to get some PC Cards going in DOS. Is it that some CD-ROM drives have ENABLERS, some need DOS drivers as well as Card Service drivers, and some like mine just need those lines in the config.sys and autoexec.bat files?
