| This should be simple enough. While setting up a CD-ROM drive in DOS,you
canplace an "/M:xxx" switch at the end of the line to set buffers. I
understand that part. What I don't understand is if this command belongs in
CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT. My study material shows 2 examples of this
switch at different points and shows one of them after the MSCDEX.EXE
command in AUTOEXEC.BAT and the other time they put the switch at the end of
a DEVICE= line, which would be in CONFIG.SYS. Which is correct? Or am I
missing something?

Autoexec.bat I think.

| Both config sys and autoexec.bat
example:
config sys:
DEVICE=C akcd.sys /D:CDROM
autoexec.bat:
MSCDEX /D:CDROM

| I disagree
should be
device=oakcdrom.sys /d:cd
in config.sys
and
mscdex.exe /d:cd /l:x /m:20
in autoexec.bat
although I have never tried it the other way this way always works for me |
