Hi!

I hope someone can help me out. I Just upgraded to DOS 5.0 from DOS 4.01
on my 386SX clone. My problem in a nutshell is that now DOS wont recognize
my CHINON CDS431 CD-ROM drive.

You can attach to the drive, but when you try to perform any IO such as
DIR, DOS returns "Invalid Drive."

The drive worked well under DOS 4.01, and I have changed nothing else besides
the OS. My MS CDROM Extensions are version 2.10. Do I have to upgrade my MSCDX?

Any Help would be much appreciated.
