- How do I add CD-ROM drive support to a bootable MS-DOS floppy disk?

As an example, these are the lines you should add to your autoexec.bat and config.sys, when using an Adaptec AHA2940 SCSI Controller.

CONFIG.SYS	AUTOEXEC.BAT
DEVICE=A:\ASPI8DOS.SYS /D	LOAD A:\MSCDEX.EXE /S /D:ASPICD0 /M:12
DEVICE=A:\ASPICD.SYS /D:ASPICD0

You also need to copy the files MSCDEX.EXE, ASPI8DOS.SYS and ASPI CD.SYS in the root directory of your floppy disk.
