    Using a DVD-ROM as a CD-ROM in DOS 6.22?
    « on: February 16, 2010, 10:50:39 AM »
    Does anyone know if a DVD-ROM drive can be used in a 486 PC using DOS 6.22?  I only need the file transfer capability of the CD-ROM, (none of the DVD capability)...would a generic adapti.exe and mscdex.exe work with a newer DVD-ROM drive??

    Thanks!

    I don't see why not. I used a dvd-rom on a Pentium 75 under DOS 6.22.

      Can you give me an idea of what you used in the autoexec.bat and/or drivers?

      Just the standard oakcrom and mscdex stuff you can find listings of on any web site. (This was 1995)
