I'm not that familiar with DOS drivers. You could try asking on the freedos mailing list. You could also try running seabios with "-chardev stdio,id=seabios -device isa-debugcon,iobase=0x402,chardev=seabios" and see if any interesting debug messages come up. Finally, one could recompile seabios with higher debug levels to try and track down which calls aren't working (if you suspect msdos should be seeing the cdrom). -Kevin _______________________________________________ SeaBIOS mailing list SeaBIOS@seabios.org http://www.seabios.org/mailman/listinfo/seabios
