sure!  if can i run it under dosemu.   :-)   rodcdex?

i now have mscdex, but it's not "working".

config.com:
DEVICE=ASPI.SYS               (the scsi driver)
DEVICE=CDROM.SYS /D:MYCD

autoexec:
MSCDEX /D:MYCD /V /L:E

mscdex reports that it can't find the driver.  i tried a bunch of
variations on this theme.

i've been playing around with this, but in the meantime, i made the
cdrom another "hard drive".  that works for now.   i'll get back to it
when/if i have some more spare time on my hands...
