When I attempt to load a CD-ROM cache (CDSpeedway) using that programs configuration manager, Windows reports "MSCDEX not loaded". When I check the loaded drivers from the DOS prompt within Windows, it shows CDSpeedway loaded high. The MSCDEX is in the autoexec.bat PATH statement. Any ideas? I am using 486/33DX w/ DOS6 & Windows 3.1/Enhanced.

I can only guess. You didn't say that you saw the 'MSCDEX' in memory. The DOS 6.0 loadhigh command is strange. On my system, what it does is undefined if the program won't fit into high memory. Sometimes it loads the program low, and sometimes not at all. Try removing the loadhigh on MSCDEX, or putting the speedcache in the autoexec after the MSCDEX line and rerunning MEMMAKER. Good luck.
