I don't know if this will work for all CDROM's out there, but it has for
three that I've owned... just run the install from the driver floppy
that came with the CDROM, and it'll put the drivers on your C: drive.
Some installers will add a line to your Config.sys and autoexec.bat,
others will just report the lines to you and want you to add them.
In either event, the one for the Config.sys is fine and should be added.
That's the low level device driver, and it won't affect Win95, but it
will be there ready and waiting for DOS to use it.
The line for the autoexec.bat (it's the line that references "mscdex")
is a different matter. That one should be placed in the "dosstart.bat"
file in the Windows directory. That way it won't load until you quit to
DOS from Win95. If the CDROM install places this line in autoexec.bat,
just cut it from there and paste it into dosstart.bat.
