Followup to my post this morning about swapping out the Sony CD drive for
an AOpen DVD drive. The new/old (circa 1998) AOpen 1648 came in its
original box with paperwork. No mention of installing a driver anywhere in
the manual, which explains why I couldn't find a driver for it online. It

this is true. and each manufacturer took care to only support
it's own drives. until later someone showed that IDE-CDROM drivers are
inherently universal.
UDVD and vide-cdd.sys
Hi Eric, it's connected to the IDE controller (2nd) on the motherboard
(Intel Pentium II 440BX). The UDVD2 I was using is dated 3-5-2015. Looks
like it's version 2.0c. It was packaged with the FreeDos 1.3 Live CD I used
for my installation.
More excitement later today... I'm going to try
Hi! That looks like a normal IDE / ATAPI drive to me according
to online specs. Is it connected to the normal IDE controller
on your mainboard or to some sort of separate controller? Which
version of UDVD2 do you use, is it up to date? See for example

Hi again,
Shérab (2013/12/28 16:36 +0100):
So far I mounted the .ISO file on, say, /cdrom/ and then created a
symbolic link called e under ~/.dosemu/drives pointing to /cdrom.
Not completely true. What I'm actually oing is that I have copied all
the files in the .isofile to,say, /cdrom/
And
Under VirtualBox you can install FreeDOS and CDROM emulation runs
perfectly (emulated by VirtualBox, not by FreeDOS)

Hi,
Still trying to use that old dictionary program for DOS.
So the dictionary runs on CD -ROM for which I have a .iso image.
Hi,
Many years ago, I was using a neat program called 'FakeCD' to run a few
CD games without the actual CDs, like Carmageddon.
IIRC, FakeCD was not using an ISO file as input, but rather a directory
with files, and emulated a CDROM drive from that. So it wasn't able for
eg. to emulate a CD

Was there a typing error here? as it's normally XCDROM.SYS.
YES it was i don't have internet on the laptop.
As the
FreeDOS distribution is rather old right now, I'd recommend getting an
updated yet renamed version of the cdrom driver at

Thanks , the cd drivers worked .
It took me a little while to figure out i needed to edit fdauto.bat.

I got my sound working ,I downloaded drivers for the soundcard .
I still have a problem with mpxplay playing cd audio but it works in other
programs.
It was an ess 1878 chip.
Actually it's no problem to code something monitor the CD drive, but
the program must resident and take some memory.

It wouldn't be trivial IMHO.
No problem for you !
It would have to be assembly code wouldn't it?I do a little c and some
scripts.
Anyway thanks for helping with the cdrom
