I have just purchased a Hitachi 3600 CD-ROM from an individual, he said it was new, he lied. Anyway, when I boot my computer when it tries to execute the device driver – MSCDEX.EXE – it comes back saying "incorrect DOS version". I am using MS-DOS 5.0. Does anyone know about this problem, or does any one have the number for hitachi or their BBS where I can get the correct driver?

You need to add DOS 5's SETVER.EXE to your CONFIG.SYS file to tell MSCDEX that you have a different DOS version. Alternatively, you need MSCDEX version 2.21 which seems to be in short supply of late. Robert Hunter said it is available on a subscription BBS at 503-695-3250. Check LASER3.TXT in Lib #4 for further info on all the above, including instructions for SETVER, which'll be the quickest fix for you. Kevin–

thank you Kevin, I'll try the setver until I get the right driver.
