Installing Win 98 using external SCSI CDRom Drive?

[seagor]

I have a Toshiba Laptop with a faulty intrenal CDRom drive, I need to Reinstall Windows 98 and have bought an external SCSI CDRom drive which uses a PCMCIA CARD SCSI Controller. I need to build a boot disk to recognise the external SCSI drive but dont know how to go about it. I know that I need Cardbus drivers for DOS (Texas Instruments) can anybody tell me what else I need and how to go about building the boot disk

Thanks

Seagor

On your boot disk you need the DOS driver for the card and a DOS driver for the cd , then an autoexec.bat with mscdex.
If you look at the boot disk , you'll probably find a config.sys and autoexec.bat with drivers for the existing stuff and you can replace the files and names to fit the new stuff. Ed Fair

For SCSI CDRom's, the drivers are given to you by the adapter drivers disc (i.e., the drivers are universal, support all SCSI CDRom's).
