CD driver for DOS

Feb 28, 2009 26 Replies

IDE dope! The controller is ON THE DRIVE. On the MOBO is nothing more than an I/O port.

How SATA CD Drives get implemented I do not know. PATA CD Drives have no integrated controller, and need not be master or be mastered.

DRDOS has there own dev team that worked on such issues.

Instead of wango tango, you could try a little google, poogle.

Heh. That was mine. I Googled it up. Props to Wescott for pointing us that way.

I know for sure that DR-DOS 6 and its source licenced decendant Novell DOS 7 both could handle early CDROM (i have them). Besides, new hardware does not read 5-1/4 inch floppies unless user installed.

Just the same i suggest checking the BIOS settings.

You can't get anything right can you, AlwaysWrong?

Hey, DimBulb gets one right! Mark the calendar!

That makes perfect sense, to perhaps Roy.

You're a goddamned idiot, KRW. There are NO IDE 'controllers' on ANY motherboard OR add on IDE card. The very name IDE means that the CONTROLLER electronics are ON THE DRIVE. The chip on the MOBO is a STRICT I/O port with ZERO controller functions. RAID implementations to not qualify for the discussion.

So f*ck off, YOU KNOW NOTHING RETARDED BASTARD.

You don't know either dipshit, and I was referring to SATA CD and DVD readers, not hard drives, dipshit.

Only because you are a goddamned retarded twit.

A master is a master. Being mastered means you are a slave.

You, however, are a dumbfuck. You are worse than the worst slumdog gangster that ever lived.

You're AlwaysWrong. Why show it all the time? We got it!

No, that would be you. That's why everyone knows you as AlwaysWrong, Dimbulb.

You don't know and know it. That makes twice in one day!

No, DimBulb, that would describe the famous pair, Dimmie and Roy.

AlwaysWrong strikes again.

Anything you say, Roy.
