[OT] DVD drives & DOS

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Chaps, sorry for the OT, but I have a rather pressing question that I need
to answer ASAP...

Can anyone tell me for sure whether it is possible to make a DVD drive work
(as a DVD, not just a CD) under DOS? I didn't think it was possible, but
some colleagues are suggesting that we can distribute some OS images on DVD
(either bootable DVD's or with an accompanying boot floppy) for
installation 
onto new PC's that have no OS installed...

Certainly I'm pretty sure that it can't be done with the standard MSCDEX
driver, but does anyone know of any available driver that will allow access
to DVDs from DOS (not a DOS session under windows)

TIA

Paul G.
