   MENU Option 0    basic stuff only
   MENU Option 1    CD-ROM
   MENU Option 2    TROUSERS
   MENU Option 3    CD-ROM and TROUSERS

   13? DEVICE=CDROM.SYS /D:CDDRIVE1
   23? DEVICE=TROUSERS.SYS

   0?  ECHO Warning: basic stuff only!

Using with autoexec.bat

The environment variable CONFIG is set to the menu option value. Therefore %CONFIG% can be used in the autoexec.bat in conjunction with the if command. For instance:

   IF "%config%"=="1" SHSUCDX /D:CDDRIVE1
