ok, i tried it, doesn't work... i screwed with this thing long enuf.
here's what my problem is...
the error message:
   Error CDROM.CPP 168: Invalid combination of opcode and operands
the command:
   lds dx,buffer
i tried switching all my settings to no avail. I can't figure this out...
i think i go back to reading my text files on assembly language before
i start another thread like this... see ya'll in the streams.
... Beep! Invalid Input. I take only cash....
