You cannot "just load ... and execute", you would have
to do it at the right moment etc. In particular, you
would load SHSUCDX after all DEVICE lines, so you had
to keep it waiting i

Of course, but my point was that you won't have to provide a drive letter.

I was thinking more of a config.sys menu item to load them
while the others would be for normal boot without them...

Hi again, adding another idea to the possibilities of
booting from CD/DVD without having to use 1.2 / 1.44
or 2.88 MB boot floppy images or MEMDISK in emulation
mode: You could use the technology of Rayer's ROMOS
which allows you to boot a FAT12 image directly from
ROM. This image has only 1 FAT,

I wonder how large such expansion ROM images can be (64K? more?). The

Standard method has a limit of 64 kB according

using the SYS CONFIG mechanism, you could easily have
SYS CONFIG /AndThe1stAttachedFileIsHasSize12345 /AndThe2n
