The generic answer to all your questions is "no" <g>.
Some specific questions "no" answers: (1) are you up
to this, (2) all questions beginning with "Do you know",
and (3) all questions beginning with "Can you tell me."
With these ground rules, here are my sleepy reactions:
First, nothing you do in Win95 is going to affect the
DOS assignment of drive letters. Poke around.
If one CD is I: the odds are very very high the other
is J: or H:.
The DOS delete command is DEL.
The ASPI8DOS.SYS file is the ASPI scsi driver. You
need that for the SCSI CD driver to work. It's
one of two standard APIs for accessing SCSI devices,
the other being CAM. I forget what they stand for.
I once wrote a short verse about them, which I posted
here long ago, but it's time for a repeat,
so here it is:
ASPI! CAM!
GOD DAMN!
Miracle of miracles, it looks like your config.sys
and autoexec.bat CD entries are correct. The
D: switch on the driver line in config.sys
assigns a name to the driver. The same line
on MSCDEX in autoexec.bat references the driver.
Doesn't matter what they are as long as they
are unique. BTW, I didn't check the whole syntax.
Up, just reread it. You can't have two MSCDEX lines,
but you CAN have more than one D: switch on the
one instance. Make it
MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD0001 /D:Plex0001 /v
You can also assign a drive letter with the /L switch.
/L:K will assign the letter K to a CD drive. Which?
you may ask. Dunno, I answer. Don't you have a dos
help function? If not, you should've installed DOS 6.2
instead of screwing around with Win 98. I know this
is a comfort to you <g>.
Incidentally, it looks like you have the spacing
wrong. For instance, you posted:
MSCDEX.EXE/ D:Plex0001 /v
which should be
MSCDEX.EXE /D:Plex0001 /v
That is, the command "switches" (modifiers) have the
form /S or, for those which take a value, /S:Value
/v means "verbose", i.e., display errors. Gates got
taken away with Unix envy in his garage, I guess.
If DOS doesn't recognize a cd, you will get a message
during the dos boot telling you. If you don't
get such a message, the CD is there. Check H:,
I:, J: as above.
Good luck,
