I'd REM out these lines in CONFIG.SYS: DEVICEHIGH=C:\utilitie\DIAMOND\CDSETUP.SYS /T:I /P:170 /I:15 DEVICEHIGH=C:\utilitie\DIAMOND\TOSHIBA.SYS /D:DMSCD01 And then REM out this one in AUTOEXEC.BAT: C:\utilitie\DIAMOND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:DMSCD01 /M:12 That shouldn't cause any problems. For what it's worth, DR-DOS's EMM386 is fairly unstable if my memories of the old opendos list on rim.caldera.com serves; it'd trip up quite frequently where the MS one wouldn't. I remember it was somewhat picky as to load order on one of my client's machines; if the Iomega GUEST driver was loaded anywhere but right at the end of AUTOEXEC.BAT, EMM386 would throw an exception and crash the PC.
