Yes you do , you can find them on the Windows 98 startup disk.
I believe it has the OAKCDROM.SYS or something.

You will need MSCDEX.EXE to mount a driveletter for your cdrom drive(s).

So , you're saying i'll need to define some parameters
(for example loading Oakcdrom.sys Device=C\WINDOWS\Command\EBDHimem.Sys)
at the properties of command prompt ?

let's see if i remember my old dos l33t skillz

CONFIG.SYS

switches=/f
device=a:\himem.sys /verbose
dos=high,umb,auto
device=a:\oakcdrom.sys /D:OAKCD001


AUTOEXEC.BAT

@echo off
mscdex /d:OAKCD001


Could be wrong with the /D option though ; Check out the config.sys of your Windows 98 disk.

Well the /D option is correct, but I remember some dos versions having problems with the "dos=high,umb" statement; replacing it by:
dos = high
dos = umb
helps

I altered some options and it worked ...
This is what i used :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
config.sys :

switches=/f
device=C:\WINDOWS\Command\EBD\oakcdrom.sys /D:mscd001
device=C:\WINDOWS\Command\EBD\aspicd.sys /D:mscd001

autoexec.bat :

@echo off
mscdex /D:mscd001
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks Mr. Belvedere

Thanks Mr. Belvedere
You're most welcome.

Remember , you do not need the ASPI drivers if it's an ATAPI/IDE interface the cdrom device is using. Saves some more bytes we all knew and loved back in the MS-DOS days.

640kb ought to be enough for everybody
