- None of the suggestions seem to apply to the problem of getting the
- CD-ROM to work under WINOS/2. Since I have a CD-ROM and controller that
- isn't supported directly by OS/2, I would like to get at it through the
- Windows route, without having to re-boot.
-
- My 2.1 beta hasn't arrived yet... does anyone running it know if MSCDEX
- will run under the 3.1 WINOS/2 ?
