    I fixed a 10-year old Toshiba satellite pro 430cdt and installed FreeDOS on it. It is able to read from the CDs with freedos' own CD driver, but it can't write on them with copy,move.xcopy, etc.

    I found DOSCDROAST and tried it, but any of its tools end up giving this error when I try them:
    "No ASPI manager on system." What the heck is an ASPI manager? I am using IDE-CD.

    There are some ASPIxDOS.sys (x is a single-digit number) drivers with the DOSROAST, but I think they need to be entered in the config.sys file as DEVICE=...
    I tried that, but it didn't do anything.

    So how do I burn CDs in DOS.

    Please note that by burn, I mean write individual files to CD, not deal with .ISO and other image files!
