- If you're running Win'95, then you need to run the 16-bit version of
- MSCDEX. Unfortunately the procedure for doing that varies
- considerably from machine to machine. If you have free access to
- tech. support via a phone, bbs or internet group you should ask "What
- do I put in my config.sys and autoexec.bat to load my CD-ROM driver
- and then get the 16-bit version of MSCDEX started?"
-
- Most likely your config.sys will need a line that looks something like this:
-
- device=c:\scsi\cdrom.sys/d:cdrom
-
- and your autoexec.bat will need a line that looks something like this:
-
- mscdex/d:cdrom
-
- The portion that varies from system to system is the the path and name
- of your CD-ROM driver. In the example above (on a SCSI based PC),
- it's "c:\scsi\cdrom.sys", but I don't know what it will be on your
- system.
-
- After you've done that, you may still need to restart your machine in
- DOS mode in order to get to the CD-ROM, but once you've got the old
- version of MSCDEX running you should be able to read Mac formatted
- CD-ROMs, at least from E/D when run from DOS.

- I hope this helps. If it doesn't, post again with the details of your
- machine and maybe someone else here can give you better instructions.
