If you need more info on DOS drivers for your CDRom device, check out my selected CD-Rom DOS drivers list.

There are a number of ways to determine your cd-drive model, I hope one of these methods will work for you.

1. If you are lucky the information will be printed right on your drive, however I think most of the drives have no makings what so ever.  All my CD-Rom Drive says is 4X fast 600 KBS transfer rate.
2. Well another place to look is on your system credentials sheet.  This is a pre-printed piece of paper with all the specifications of your system printed on it.
3. Next you can see if your system has the systems credentials program, if so run it and it should tell you your CD-Rom model.
4. Right click on my computer and choose properties, next choose the device manager tab.  Click on the + sign where it says CDRom and if your system is configured properly it should give you the name of your CDRom device.
5. If you find  a FCC ID number on your CDRom you can visit one of the many FCC ID number look up services and you should be able to ID your CDRom.

I have selected a list of the more popular CDRom devices to show you what the DOS drivers for a CD Ron are like.  If you need to use the CDRom is DOS you will need to edit a systems file in order to get it to work.

Windows 95 does not require these driver settings, however if you are playing games in DOS you may need to have CD-ROM access when in DOS.  The information below can also help you make a boot disk that requires CD-ROM access.

If your CDRom device is not listed, use the CD Rom chart above, Packard Bell should give you the info you need.
