(...) Is it necessary to have MSCDEX operating to recognise a CD-ROM under Windows? I thought that was all embedded in the OS but one never knows. I haven't used SCSI peripherals since the days of Windoze 3.1. Just a thought, LFB (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) It shouldn't be. What about the LASTDRIVE environment variable? Does it still have to be set to 'Z' manually? (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that's related. I can still disconnect the new drive, and the SCSI CD ROM becomes available as E: like before upon the next bootup. So I think the drivers are all there. Fredrik (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Yeah, putting "LASTDRIVE=Z" in CONFIG.SYS did work! Thanks! Fredrik (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Cool. There's a large bunch of my brain cells devoted to storing obscure DOS config information; I'm glad it came in useful! (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
