Hey Carval...
From: carval <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
No, CD-Rom drivers are not needed if it a Sony CD-ROM (PCGA-CD50/51/51A) or one of the newer CD-DVD-ROM.
I started to write down the model of the CD-ROM (not DVD-ROM) tonight, but then forgot to do it. I used a Windows 98 floppy to start the system with the CD-ROM attached, and selected the option to boot with CD-ROM support. But when it got to loading MSCDEX.EXE, it reported "No drive found." I can hear the drive working with a CD loaded when BIOS is setting up, so something is going on there.
Any suggetions for getting CD-ROM access for this pup when booting a FDD to DOS?
To get into the Bios, power up and keep tapping F2 go to> boot > CD rom Bios only has about 6 setting you can adjust?
That I was able to get into, and the boot sequence is indeed set to CD-ROM > FDD > HDD.
