Subject: [PCBUILD] Configuring PCMCIA for DOS
> I have recently acquired a Hitachi Slimeline laptop. Both the floppy
> drive and the CD-Rom are external to the laptop. The laptop did not come
> with a CD-Rom originally, and was purchased separately. The CD-Rom is
> made by Hi-Val and came with a generic PCMCIA card/cable for the CD-Rom.
>
> Here is my problem - I would like to format the hard drive and install
> windows fresh, but I can not get the CD-Rom to function in DOS. I have
> gone to both the websites for the laptop and the CD-Rom and downloaded the
> drivers, but had no luck getting them to work. I recently downloaded a
> third party's software called "cardsoft". Now I can feel the CD-Rom being
> accessed at boot during the config.sys, but then that's it - it stops. My
> thoughts are that I have all the software needed to do the job, but that I
> just don't have config.sys and autoexec.bat configured correctly. At any
> rate I am at a loss and would appreciate ANY help that you can offer.
>
> TIA
