<para>
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>
</footnote> and OAKCDROM.SYS that comes with several versions of Windows.
Copy the driver to your boot disk, and then set up the startup files as follows.
<para>
<screen>
config.sys:
device=himem.sys
device=oakcdrom.sys /D:CD001
-or-
device=sbide.sys /D:CD001 /P:1f0,14,3f6
autoexec.bat:
mscdex.exe /M:10 /D:CD001
</screen>
<para>
If the files mentioned in <filename>config.sys</filename> and
<filename>autoexec.bat</filename> are not in the root directory, give the full
pathname, like <filename>c:\windows\himem.sys</filename>.
