2330.0. "CDROM on HiNote Ultra in DOS mode ?" by RDGENG::WILKINS () Wed Mar 12 1997 06:30

    Hi,
    
    Can anybody help with a problem regarding the installation
    of the CDROM drive within the HiNote MultiMedia dock but
    under DOS only, not Windows95.
    
    I guess I need to locate some drivers to allow this and to
    then produce a shortcut to DOS specifying the new driver
    locations via a new CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
    
    I've tried in vain with the doscdrom.sys driver but I'm
    now running out of ideas....and patience *8-)
    
    Details:
    
    	HiNote Ultra CT475 (Windows95 - but I need DOS !)
    	MM Dock
    	Compressed C: drive (if that's relevant)
    
    If anyone can point me at the driver(s) and post an example
    of the driver loading "script@ I will be eternally grateful
    (well for 10 mins at least *;-})
    
    Regards,
    Kevin.

2330.1	works for me	WOTVAX::wazock.lzo.dec.com::taylor_m		`Mon Apr 07 1997 10:11`	21
	Hi Kevin, I find the following works for me with an F8 boot into dos contents of cdrom.bat ld doscdrom.sys /d:mscd001 /m:s /s:1e8,15,m /v mscdex /d:mscd001 /m:8 enablecd note that the first line has ld in it. This is a wonderous thing from pathworks that lets you load what would normally be in config.sys on the command line. If you can't get hold of it then device=doscdrom.sys etc should be placed in config.sys regards Martin (all I need now is how to see the cdrom fron linux!)
2330.2	where do I get doscdrom.sys ?	FIREBL::LEEDS	From VAXinated to Alphaholic	`Mon Apr 21 1997 20:55`	18
	re: .1 I tried what was recommended in .1, but I don't seem to have a "doscdrom.sys" on my HiNote Ultra (W95). Any idea where I get doscdrom.sys? Arlan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- config.sys device=doscdrom.sys /d:mscd001 /m:s /s:1e8,15,m /v autoexec.bat mscdex /d:mscd001 /m:8 enablecd
2330.3	on floppies	WOTVAX::wazock.lzo.dec.com::taylor_m		`Thu Apr 24 1997 10:14`	4
	Mine came on (I think 3) floppies with the cd-drive. If you can't find them, I'll try to bring mine in and copy them up somewhere.
