This is a case where it's hard to say whether shsucdex or the various
other cdrom drivers are falling short. But in my current solution
shsucdex works and doesn't need to be replaced. Mscdex also worked. I
couldn't get uide.sys or xcdrom.sys to work, but ide-cd.sys does work.
So it seems
Thanks for the idea and an interesting web page, but this is a plain old
IDE CD-ROM.

Is it a slave or secondary master drive?

One of these two should work. These are batch files so rename them
accordingly.

I tried updating to the latest uide.sys from
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/ellis/, but
I get the same error.
I also get the same error with the last version of xcdrom.sys.
Next-best solutions?

Make sure your (fd)config.sys has a line
LASTDRIVE=Z

Taking the next obvious step, I can even successfully condense the last
5 lines as below (which lets me access the drive as E:, not D:), but I
have not succeeded beyond that.

Thanks, that sort of works. Based on the cdrom.bat commands, this
snippet from my current autoexec.bat works:

If you have other partitions they will always be seen by FreeDOS diskinit
before any of your drivers are loaded therefore it is best to reassign your
drive letter. FreeDOS 1.1 uses a default of X: and I follow that
assignment. This will result in a consistent drive assignment for your CD.
Also
Point well taken about diskinit and a consistent drive assignment,
though in this case it will probably not matter.
I don't have any plan to boot CDROM images on this -- the FDBOOTCD.ISO
command was just part of the auto-installed configuration.
If I substitute SHSUCDX /D:FDCD0001,X /Q in
John, actually you probably don't need to unload shsucdx, like you I used
that command line from my install (I used the all_cd.iso).

You're right, I get exactly the same result if I rem out that line.
I then arrive at this as the most economical working configuration:
===
REM (some commands)
SHSUCDX /QQ /D3
REM (some commands)
DEVLOAD /Q /H C:\FDOS\BIN\XCDROM.SYS /D:FDCD0001 /H
SHSUCDX /D:FDCD0001,X /Q
are you using only xcrdom.sys or combining it with UIDE or UDVD? I prefer
UIDE instead of xcdrom.sys on my IDE drives, and on one of my quirkier
machines shsucdx doesn't work but shcdx86.com does.

Continuing to think in other directions at the moment, I tried mscdex +
a cdrom driver of unknown origin named ide-cd.sys (dated 1998). Those
two worked.
Then I tried shsucdx + ide-cd.sys and those two worked.
