looking at your config.sys...
There's some 'E's missing on the mscdex.Ex part,
and NOwhere in the photo's you posted of the config.sys is the actual mitsumi driver loaded.

Just trying to load mscdex will give you an error message.

edit: looking again, you're trying to load mscdex as the device driver, which is just plain wrong.

wich do i need to at the bin or the dev folder ?

it says device drivers not found so i add bin folder to the config sys inside there is the drivers for the mitsumi or is this not correct

it is not.

you need something like an MTMCDE.SYS or MTMCDS.SYS or similar and appropriate for your mitsumi 1x cdrom.

edit: maybe this thread will help https://www.vcfed.org/forum/forum/genre ... lp-Needed=

c:\DEV\MTMCDS.SYS is all ik can find
so wich line do i remove and where to add this

oke the drivers are loading now but when i type in D: nothing happens

you just posted mostly the same photos.

You are trying to load MSCDEX.EX & MSCDEX.EXE as the device driver in config.sys. That should be the c:\DEV\MTMCDS.SYS ! and it will probably require some more parameters, like IO & DMA.

The /E parameter only applies if running with an expanded memory manager such EMM386.

One can use INSTALL instead of DEVICE on CONFIG.SYS for this purpose. Otherwise putting this on AUTOEXEC.BAT is the right way.

For C:\DEV\MTMCDS.SYS you have to enter the following on CONFIG.SYS prior MSCDEX.

1DEVICE=C:\DEV\MTMCDS.SYS /D:MSCD001
2REM Use the /E parameter for the expanded memory manager configurations only
3INSTALLHIGH=C:\BIN\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:10

For C:\DEV\MTMCDS.SYS you have to enter the following on CONFIG.SYS prior before MSCDEX.

Copy code to clipboard

1DEVICE=C:\DEV\MTMCDS.SYS /D:MSCD001
2REM Use the /E parameter for the expanded memory manager configurations only
3INSTALL=C:\BIN\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:10

might want to add the parameters for alternate IO/DMA :-p
and the missing E was referring to the .exE ! though the whole line doesn't matter anyway there.

do i add this also to the autoexec file > DEVICE=C:\DEV\MTMCDS.SYS /D:MSCD001

No, that should be in the CONFIG.SYS.

Yep, but it depends if he's using the CD ports from a sound card or not. That Mitsumi drive likely uses a proprietary port. 😜

plenty of soundcards around that had all those proprietary ports 😜

iam confused now 😀 let me explain the mistumi drive works perfect with out the custom menu
when i add the custom menu it stops working because the drivers are not loaded
wich lines do i add to the config
and wich lines to the autoexec

Which custom menu actually?

Phil's CONFIG.SYS maxes out the amount of menus allowed.

from phil.com you can download a custom menu see picture

The photo of the config.sys you showed does not load the mitsumi driver.

You made an error in the config.sys by trying to do this :
DEVICEHIGH=C:\BIN\MSCDEX.EX /D:MSCD001 /M:10

it should be this :

DEVICE=C:\DEV\MTMCDS.SYS /D:MSCD001

The first three options have the CD-ROM support (EMC, XMC and CMC). The other ones doesn't have them for more conventional (and upper) memory.

Frakking Phil. We should get paid to be his helpdesk puppets. 🤣

D: wont work
