ATAPI DVD driver for DOS
I have a lot of games and programs that are for DOS still and would like to play them but I can't access my Atapi DVD(Toshiba) drive while in DOS(real dos, not while in windows). I can load my mouse driver and sound driver fine. I use the mscdex command line to load a driver but it cant ever find one. For example I enter "mscdex /d:mscd001", and other variations but to no luck.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You need the line in autoexec.bat for mscdex.exe (you have that correct)
c:\wherever\mscdex.exe /d:MSCD001
but you also need a corresponding line in config.sys:
device=c:\wherever\Taisatap.sys /d:MSCD001
using the same alias (eg. doesn't have to say mscd001, it just has to be the same)
Now, perhaps a DOS cdrom driver will work with your DVD drive, your DOS games are just CDROM disks I presume. I had a look and found a toshiba CDROM driver for DOS at the windrivers page. You might try loading it in config.sys like I've shown above.

I hope this works for you
