#Hitachi driver
4 messages in this thread
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.
