SUMMARY

NEC CD-ROM drivers versions 2.1 and earlier (NECCDR.SYS) must be installed before HIMEM.SYS. NEC CD-ROM driver versions 2.12 and later will allow the driver to be installed after HIMEM.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS file. The driver may then be installed high with the DEVICEHIGH= command.

The product included here, NECCDR.SYS, is manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
