Dave,

There are three key elements to getting a CD-ROM to work in the DOS
environment.

!. There must be a "DEVICE=......" statement in CONFIG.SYS for the CD
driver.
   for example:    "DEVICE=SBIDE.SYS D:/MSCD0001"
2. The MSCDEX command must be in AUTOEXEC.BAT
3. Both 1&2 above must "point" to the same device name (spelling counts).
    It's the  "/D:device" part in both statements.
