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

As above. Do I need to use driver?

oakcdrom.sys is a driver for ATAPI/IDE drives. You need to use a SCSI driver.

Ok. What is name of driver?

 

[Plasma]

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.

 

[Timo W.]

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.

One other source for CDROM drivers is Corel SCSI.

Or have a look here.

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:

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.
