DOS ain't dead

(un)loading block device drivers: LOADSYS (Users)

posted by effebi68, 10.12.2009, 10:17

As far as I know, the only reliable way to load AND unload block device drivers such as CDROM after bootup was by means of a quite cute utility called LOADSYS, written by a British folk called G. W. Robinson and still available on some sites; I am pretty much sure to have it on some floppy disc of mine as well.

I never tried it under DOS 7.x/8.0, though.
