MSCDEX is not the driver, it's just the interface between the driver and the hardware. Stands for Microsoft CD Extensions. The driver would be a file named oakcdrom.sys, vide-cdd.sys, atapi.sys, or similar and is loaded by the config.sys file. I have found oakcdrom.sys will work with most all IDE CD-ROM drives. If you are using some other driver you might want to give it a try. You probably know this already but here is an example of how it should be set up:
In Config.sys:
Device=C:\DOS\OAKCDROM.SYS /D:CDROM1
In Autoexec.bat:
C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:CDROM1
