I have an Adaptec 1542B SCSI controller. I have just connected a Hitachi 1750S CD-ROM player to it. I have the MSCDEX.EXE file. But how do I get the Adaptec and MSCDEX linked? Do I need another driver to load in config.sys? How does one get it? Why didn't it come with the CD-ROM player? Help. andy

You do need another device driver to access the CD ROM drive. My CD ROM did not have and most will not, unless you order a multimedia kit, which usually includes a sound card, drivers, cable and a CD ROM. I paid extra for the cables and SCSI support drivers when I bought my CD ROM. Since you have an Adaptec Adapter, call Adaptec to get the drivers. Or I believe Corel sells SCSI drivers for most cards.
