I recently experimented a bit with adding a second entry to autoexec.bat
and config.sys to add DOS support for a second CD-ROM device, (my
recorder). No luck, though, although I gave up perhaps too easily.
Here's what I did:

config.sys includes:
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DEV\TSYCDROM.SYS /D:IDECD_00 /P:SM
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DEV\TSYCDROM.SYS /D:IDECD_01 /P:SM

autoexec.bat includes:
LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:IDECD_00 /L:L
LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:IDECD_01 /L:M


I'm sure I'm overlooking something obvious, but it escapes me for now.
Only one drive gets recognized this way, (Drive L:). What am I doing
wrong? BTW, I have no idea what the "/P:SM" parameter is for. Anyway,
this isn't a critical task or anything, I'm just playing around, trying
to see if I can make this work.
