this is in /etc/dosemu.conf, right?  the format of all the entries are
defintiely of the form

$_variable = " " 

for strings or

$_variable = ( )

for numbers or off/on booleans.   what version of dosemu are you using?
yikes!   :-(


here's what i get from dosemu bootup:

        No ASPI devices configured.
        Installation aborted.
        [dosemu cdrom driver installed (V0.2)]
        C:\>PATH=C:\dos;C:\dos-alt;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;
        C:\>lh C:\DOS\mscdex.exe /d:cdrom001
        Device driver not found: 'CDROM001'.
        No valid CDROM device drivers selected

i think this narrows down one problem.   it looks like a problem is in
/etc/dosemu.config with the line

        $_aspi = "scd0:CD-ROM"

my cdrom IS /dev/scd0, but i'll try changing the above line to:

        $_aspi = "sg0:CD-ROM"

so now i boot and get:

        [ASPI driver installed]
        [dosemu cdrom driver installed (V0.2)]
        C:\>PATH=C:\dos;C:\dos-alt;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;
        C:\>lh C:\DOS\mscdex.exe /D:CDROM001 /L:E
        Device driver not found: 'CDROM001'.
        No valid CDROM device drivers selected

progress is made.  so now the aspi driver is loaded, but "cdrom001" is not
found.  ok, i'll add the extra zero.

        [ASPI driver installed]
        [dosemu cdrom driver installed (V0.2)]
        C:\>PATH=C:\dos;C:\dos-alt;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;
        C:\>lh C:\DOS\mscdex.exe /D:CDROM0001 /L:E
        Illegal option
        usage: MSCDEX [/E/K/S/V] [/D:<driver> ... ] [/L:<letter>] [/M:<buffers>]

so "cdrom0001" is an illegal option?


i'm sure that i'm using the cdrom.sys that came with dosemu.  positive, in
fact.


any other guesses?

my sincerest thanks!  :-)
