SYMPTOMS
========
MSCDEX won't load with a Trantor CD-ROM driver.
CAUSE
=====
MSCDEX can't find the Trantor CD-ROM driver TSLCDR.SYS (commonly used with
Adaptec 1542b SCSI cards) when you have a very large CONFIG.SYS file (for
example, greater than 100 lines) and you use a MS-DOS 6.0 multiple configuration
menu.
As a result, MSCDEX won't load for this device driver.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, decrease the size of the CONFIG.SYS file or don't
use a multiple configuration menu.
STATUS
======
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it
becomes available.
