I have one I'd made in my own W98 box, but it doesn't include what's on the install boot disk -- like a way I can figure out to install the generic dos cdrom driver. It includes mscdex, but I can't figure out (& never have) how to run it manually, as I don't know the name of the actual driver. Meph -- Better dead than mellow.
