Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Old DOS boot disk for W95?

If you do a search of the web for the maker of your disk drive and type
number, you will most likely find all the relevant information to set up the
BIOS. Where a big drive is to be used on DOS, it may well need a special
driver to allow it all to be used - these drivers can also usually be
downloaded from the manufacturers site.

Use www.dogpile.com to do the search, it is a meta search engine which will
search about 10 other engines at once.
