Where do I get the right autoexec/config settings for the DVD drive for a
Dell Vostro 3560?

Do you have the proper driver?

I'd think that a generic CONFIG.SYS & AUTOEXEC.BAT entries like the
following would work:

CONFIG.SYS: DEVICE=DRIVER.SYS /D:CDDRIVE1
AUTOEXEC.BAT: MSCDEX /D:CDDRIVE1

Where DRIVER.SYS is replaced with the proper CD-ROM driver name & path thereto.

Information on MSCDEX.EXE paramaters can be found below.

The OAKCDROM.SYS which come with Windows 9x/ME should be universal for ATAPI based C/DVD drives. It's parameter can be found in below forum post.

But after disassembling the driver, I found that the /P switch has a third optional value 0 or 1, which I don't know what it is used for.

IME, among other ATAPI C/DVD drivers, OAKCDROM.SYS is the most stable one
and would work for many drives, although it's not the most efficient in
memory usage.
