To access your CDROM in DOS, you must download an IDE CDROM driver.
|
||||
Bochs emulates a very generic CDROM drive, and several drivers are known to
|
||||
work. Others don't. This section describes how to set up your
|
||||
<filename>config.sys</filename> and <filename>autoexec.bat</filename> to enable
|
||||
the CDROM.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The drivers that have been reported to work are
|
||||
<filename>OAKCDROM.SYS</filename> that comes with several versions of Windows
|
||||
and <filename>SBIDE.SYS</filename> version 1.21 from Creative
|
||||
Labs<footnote>
|

<para>
|
||||
To get it, go to <ulink url="http://creative.com">Creative Labs web
|
||||
site</ulink>, click on Support, then click Download Files. You get to a screen
|
||||
where you must select the operating system and the product for which you want
|
||||
the driver. Choose DOS as the operating system, and "CD-ROM: 4x and above" as
|
||||
the product. There are several choices, but you want
|
||||
<filename>sbide121.exe</filename> from April 15, 1997. Version 2.0 does not
|
||||
work. The download file is a self-extracting ZIP file, so you will need to run
|
||||
it in DOS or Windows. If you can copy it onto the DOS floppy disk image, you
|
||||
can even boot DOS inside Bochs and run <filename>sbide121.exe</filename> to
|
||||
extract it. The driver is called SBIDE.SYS. </para>

Copy the driver to your boot disk, and then set up the startup files as follows.
