Help! I just installed a NEC CD ROM using the SCSI interface kit that came with it and when I try to run MSCDEX.EXE I get a message that the wrong DOS version is installed. You guessed it, my new PC has DOS 6.0. Anyone?

Modify your autoexec file to call the *new* mscdex which should be located in your dos6 directory, not an older version elsewhere on disk or one that came with the drive. If that's not the problem, the only other thing I've seen throw the incorrect dos version error is failing to use setver with dos5, but that shouldn't be you with dos6.

Bill: Use the copy of mscdex that's in your DOS 6.0 directory (v2.22), not the one that came on your NEC install diskette (v2.21). That should work. Art
