I consider myself a "pretty good" PC tech, but when it comes to DOS, I get lost.
I'm trying to access a CD-ROM that is connected to a Toshiba laptop via a
parallel port connection.  If I remember correctly, I have to write a batch in
the autoexec file to access.  The BIOS sees the port, LPT1, I just don't know
how to access after that.  My customer wants Win 98 but with a 360 MB hard drive...
I don't think so.

TIA
