If you build a bootable CDROM containing DOS, what letter is it likely to assume? I wanted to be able to install Linux on a system but be able to stick in a CDROM containing DOS, MSKermit and a screen reader to use that system as a talking serial terminal in to other Linux boxes. One must set the path in autoexec.bat and that includes the drive designation. It occurred to me that I wasn't sure what letter it would assume so I am asking whether anyone else has done this and whether or not it worked. Is there already an image of a bootable version of DOS I could add the speech to? The actual speech comes from one of the Echo synthesizers. This setup works great on a conventional hard drive and even can be made to work with just floppies, but a CDROM would have everything one needed all on one disk. It should work on just about any system with two serial ports. I guess you could even use the vdisk application found in some versions of DOS to make a virtual disk out of some of the RAM so one could log to a file if desired and save it to a floppy although most of the time, all that is needed is the working DOS and screen reader. Any ideas welcome.
