Microsoft
MS-DOS CD-ROM Extensions
The Microsoft MS-DOS CD-ROM Extensions (mscdex.exe) enable your system to
recognize a CD-ROM drive as a single drive letter under DOS. If EZ-SCSI detects one or
more CD-ROM drives, it adds a line to the autoexec.bat file that loads mscdex.exe
into memory whenever you start your computer.
When you install EZ-SCSI, it searches for mscdex.exe
in your system. If EZ-SCSI can't find mscdex.exe, it'll prompt you to insert a disk
with this driver. If you don't know where to get mscdex.exe, try looking here:
- DOS disk for 6.0x or above
- DOS directory for 6.0x or above
- Windows directory for Windows 3.11 or above
- Windows/Command directory for Windows 95
- If you still can't find mscdex.exe,
contact Microsoft
