I have been unable to get a Toshiba XM3301B CDROM drive to work under DOS
with my Adaptec AHA1542B SCSI controller. I have the Adaptec ASW-410
Toshiba drivers installed, and mscdex 2.21. Both drivers load normally,
mscdex claims to be installing the CDROM unit as drive E:, but attempts
at accessing it (eg. dir E:) also result in the error "Disk is not High
Sierra or ISO9660 format" and the usual Abort, Retry, Fail.

Note that this EXACT same hardware setup running OS/2 2.0 has NO problems at
all reading the drive.

Any clues are appreciated.

Thanks,
