Hoorah! I got it to work. And, yes, Marc, you did help . . . .

I was curious about this myself. I did a custom install and that is what
was put in. After you asked this, I looked at the README file.
/P:xxx,yy is a port number in hex (xxx) and the IRQ of the IDE device in
decimal (yy). I remembered that vide-cdd.sys detected my drive at 170h,
but I know that the IRQ is set at 12, but up in the /P 's we have
/P:170,15. I changed it to 170,12 and volia! It worked.
A mystery still remains on why it worked so easily in Linux and not in
DOS. Oh well.
Marc: I'm still using NWCDEX, but if it gives me trouble I'll switch to
MSCDEX (though I'm not for M$, but if it works . . . ). And I did send
both my config.sys and autoexec.bat as separate attachments. It's
interesting that Juno gave you one but not the other. I apologize for
that.
