[RESOLVED] 2 cdroms using real-mode drivers

[dkbridges]

Please help. I have an IDE Octek cdrom(set as secondary master without a slave) & an SCSI Philips cd burner(only scsi device, it is terminated correctly) that both want to use the MSCDEX driver. How do I set this up to work in Windows 95?

Did you say that both the ide and scsi drive want to use the mscdex.exe file? If that's the case, then have you tried adding two devices to the real mode driver in config.sys?

for instance:

device=c:\xxxx\xxxxxxx.sys /d:mscd001 /d:mscd002

In the autoexec.bat:

mscdex /d:mscd001 /d:mscd002

However, there might be or should be win95/98 drivers for your scsi card, which should activate the cd-rom in windows. Try to look for drivers for windows, instead of using cd-rom drivers in dos. Unless of course, you need to also use the cd-roms in dos.
