Mscdex for Dos5.0
5 messages in this thread
Does anybody know where to get the latest version of mscdex which is
compatible with Dos 5.0?
Check LASER3.TXT in Lib #4 for sources; the SMS BBS therein is back in
operation. Additionally, you can purchase from MLNC at 800-264-3799 (v2.20
only, so it's not the latest, latest) or Meridian Data, 800-767-2537. But
do try your hardware mfg. first; that's liable to be free, if you can stand
the frustration. You might even score v2.21. Best of luck! Kevin–
David,
If you can stand to wait a couple of weeks, Windows 3.1 is being released
April 6/7, and it eliminates the need for MSCDEX (or includes it,
whichever). I got a mailer to upgrade 3.0 to 3.1 last week, and when I
called to order was told it will be shipped to arrive Apr 6/7, to coincide
with the official release date.

Kathy, are you sure about that? I know that Windows 3.1 will include the
Multimedia Extensions, but I was unaware that it would also include the
CDROM extensions- MSCDEX.

Dwight,
I'm reasonably certain. I'll do some literature searching and let you
know.
