Default OT. Win ME DOS driver for modern DVD drive

I only want to read files with the drive. This is on a newer Dell
laptop. I am booting up a FAT12 image of a Win ME DOS system. It is
IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, COMMAND.COM with various DOS commands on it. I have
MSCDEX.EXE from Win ME.

The DVD drive is:
HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GU90N.

I need a driver for use with MSCDEX.EXE. Does any body know what might
work? TIA. Bill S.


For DOS, you'll have to enable legacy drive mode in the system
BIOS/firmware. Then use OAKCDROM.SYS which comes from WinME. The file can be
copied from below path if the FAT12 image doesn't have it yet.

C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\EBD
