I am trying to attach a Toshiba 3301A CD-ROM to my NEC 486/33 EISA PC, but can not get it to work in DOS. I have an ADAPTEC 1740 SCSI controller in the 4th EISA slot at D000H, all the drivers seem to load, but when I try to access the CD-ROMs logical drive the PC hangs. The controller is SCSI id 7, and the CD-ROM is SCSI id 2. Windows 3.1 can access the CD-ROM through media player(eject disk, etc), but filemanger choaks. In my config.sys I load: DEVICE=ASPIEDOS.SYS /d DEVICE=ASWCDTSH.SYS /D:CDROM LASTDRIVE=K: and in my aytoexec.bat I load: MSCDEX.EXE /D:CDROM /M:10 /L:I The ASWCDTSH.SYS says it is for a toshiba 3201B, but is the only toshiba driver with the ASW-410 drivers. The Toshiba CD-ROM is a HP A1999A (Hewlett Packard OEM), and came with the Appollo 843 workstation. Heres the strange thing.... I have a pre-beta release on Microsoft Windows-NT, and the install from the CD-ROM worked fine, and I can access the CD-ROM when in Win-NT. After I tried to get the drive to in DOS and Windows 3.1, I gave the NT install a try and found out it worked with the CD-ROM drive. The AHA17XX.SYS driver that shipped with Windows NT will not work in DOS. What am I doing wrong here??? John Casavant /---------------------\ MIAGD
