Scsi cd drive recognised by bios but not accessible using oakcdrom and mscdex.

oakcdrom.sys is a driver for ATAPI/IDE drives. You need to use a SCSI driver.
 
You are going to need an ASPI Manager, ASPI CD-ROM driver, and mscdex. Which ASPI manager depends on your SCSI controller. Here are some options.
 
You normally need two drivers. One that provides ASPI with your SCSI card, and then a generic ASPI CD driver.

OK. I've solved my immediate problem to install System Commander on a FAT partition. I installed OS/2 in a seperete partition and used Boot Manager to choose DOS or OS/2.

I'll hunt for the SCSI drivers.
 
The windows 98se boot disk has some common SCSI drivers to allow installation from the CD with a SCSI CD-ROM drive (for the time)

Here are the drivers it tries to load in config.sys if you choose the CD option from the boot menu:

Code: 
device=himem.sys /testmem:off
device=oakcdrom.sys /D:oemcd001 
device=btdosm.sys 
device=flashpt.sys
device=btcdrom.sys /D:oemcd001
device=aspi2dos.sys
device=aspi8dos.sys
device=aspi4dos.sys
device=aspi8u2.sys
device=aspicd.sys /D:oemcd001
 
The motherboard supervisor has scsi ports and ide ports. I'll try an ide cd/dvd drive and see if I can install system commander.
