Boot CD installs DOS, Vantage, Raine, MAME (1 of 7 versions) and Game Launcher

A external serial connection CD ROM drive should work though, shouldn't it?

spystyle:
Hmmmmm ... that's a good question ... I think he would have to install MS-DOS first from floppy disks, then install the driver for that CD drive, then he could use the "SpyStyle DOS disk" but not formatting the hard drive.

For this particular disk he'd be better off to connect an IDE CD-ROM drive to the mainboard's IDE channel and boot from it.

Cheers,

You don't think it would boot from the serial cd-rom? There might be a setting in bios to support that. If he hooked it up and then went into the bios and seen it there and was able to make it the first boot-able then it might work.

Shouldn't be too tough too hook it up to a ide port on the mobo tho....

spystyle:
Bios supporting a serial drive? I've never heard of that... But I've never had a serial drive either.

slapaham:
So... if I connect a CD drive to IDE then I could use this fully with no problems? I have no problems opening up the PC and doing this!

Thanks for your help.
