syslinux-6.03.zip (from iBiblio above) does have eltorito.sys (and *.asm for NASM), 1554 bytes, calling itself version "1.5". Is that what you meant? So you want someone to put a README telling people that it contains "eltorito.sys"? By itself that's not much help, is it? Quoting the SysLinux wiki: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=MEMDISK " MEMDISK and generic El Torito CD-ROM driver for DOS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're using MEMDISK to boot DOS from a CD-ROM (using ISOLINUX), you might find the generic El Torito CD-ROM driver (eltorito.sys) by Gary Tong and Bart Lagerweij useful. It is now included with the Syslinux distribution, in the dosutil directory. See the file dosutil/eltorito.txt for more information. Example usage of eltorito.sys in CONFIG.SYS: device=eltorito.sys /X:MSCD0001 Corresponding MSCDEX command which can be placed in AUTOEXEC.BAT: MSCDEX /X:MSCD0001 /L:X Where X is the drive letter.
