DOS Drivers for CD-ROM Access
The CD-ROM drivers need to be installed only if DOS access to a
CD-ROM drive attached to a SCSI host adapter is required. If
Windows 95, Windows 98, or NetWare is already installed, or if the
CD-ROM drive is not connected to a SCSI adapter, these drivers do
not need to be copied or installed. However, you may choose to
install these drivers if you are having trouble accessing your
CD-ROM from Netare or Windows 95/98.
Note:
You do not need these drivers for Windows NT or
UNIX.
