You also need a driver specifically for the Adaptec controller that knows how to talk CD-ROM. The MSCDEX.EXE program is a sort of universal go-between for Windows and the device driver to the CD-ROM. You can contact Adaptec and try to get what you need or you might be able to contact NEC and get it. I personally gave up on Adaptec as their always made me wait on hold for a long time and then took my name and number but never called me back. Either way, you are going to have to pay for what you need. -- Mike Stanbro Mentor Graphics Corporation mikes@pdx.mentorg.com
