# Command: atapicdd.sys

      ATAPICDD.SYS is a generic CD-ROM driver for IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI).
      It is still under development. Please use XCDROM.SYS instead.
      ATAPICDD.SYS has to be loaded in CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS.
      When FreeDOS is already running, you can load ATAPICDD.SYS later
      with DEVLOAD.

              drive  the drive letter, e.g. C:

## Comments:

      ATAPICDD.SYS is loaded in CONFIG.SYS / FDCONFIG.SYS.
      FreeDOS uses XCDROM.SYS or UDVD.SYS instead of
      ATAPICDD.SYS now.
      The option /D: xxxxyyyy must be the same as in SHSUCDX
      (MSCDEX) which is loaded in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
