All CD Rom drivers as I recall, support for some non-standard drives
available at the time and slightly before.

Nope, this is your ramdrive. 2 MB I believe.
This config.sys was from the floppy that shipped with your copy of Win98
wasn't it? I have about 5 of those floppies here. I modify them
periodically to make floppies with menus that do what -I- want. I.e. I
have one that allows you to connect to a Ghost Multicast session, load
the CD Rom drivers to image a machine locally from a CD, Start the
windows setup, or just go to a prompt. This you can then make a
bootable CD out of, from Nero or whatever, or leave on it's own. ( Of
course a bootable CD with CD Rom Drivers seems a little redundant. :))
