Help! Just put a Radio Shack CDR-1000 in the empty slot in my IBM-AT compatible 386/25. Got power to it, but can't access it. Tried doing the software install, got it in okay. But drive "d" comes up invalid, and when I run my autoexec.bat I get "invalid dos version" although I'm running MS-DOS 5.0. Any ideas?

I had the same problem with a Mitsumi drive I purchased at Software Etc. I simply put the "SETVER.EXE" command in the config.sys prior to the driver and it worked fine. I since have upgraded the MSCDEX driver (from one found in the MSLIB section here) and I now longer need the "SETVER.EXE" command. I hope this helps.

I just had the same problem. You have to set your dos version in your config.sys. The driver will not load high!! If you have QEMM, it will try to load the driver high and it will not work. Load the driver low and try it. Let me know you made out.
