Hi, I am trying to get my Sound Blaster 16 CT2950 working.
The CDROM driver appears to be loading okay but it does not assign a Drive letter to the CDROM ?

Maybe my config setting are wrong ?

The same goes for VIDECD.SYS.
After /D: give the device a unique name.
You'll see that the original startup file assigned a name of "banana", but you can call it whatever you wish.
Just remember that both files must have the same device name.

Normally, you have a line in config.sys

DEVICE=IDECD.SYS /D:MYCD001

and a corresponding one in autoexec.bat:

MSCDEX.EXE /D:MYCD001

There are additional parameters for MSCDEX that you might consider using, but they are not needed for it to work.

One thing that's important: the device name may clash with reserved names. Never use the name of the driver nor just the word "CDROM" (clashes with the old High Sierra standard, causing some pre-1990 CD-ROM games not to work).
