    open/close CD tray in DOS?

    Hi folks, I know this is trivial, but does anyone know how I can open and close the CD tray using pure DOS 6.22? The reason I ask is, my DOS machine is down under a computer desk such that when the tray is open, it covers the button and is just an awkward reach for an old fart like me.

    A command to close it would ease these ole bones.

    Thanks, Dexahol.

    EDIT: Well.....double-thanks. Your link led me to the Simtel archive which had another utility that works even better.

    This one is great. Thanks again platypus!

    Glad to help. I looked at simtel first but jumbo seemed a bit easier to find stuff.

    Yeah, Jumbo is definitely easier. Fortunately, the Jumbo site pointed to the Simtel site.
