Sony is purportedly working on a driver (and do contact them to tell
them you are interested) for their CD-ROM adapter. Until that time,
you will be restricted to using your CD-ROM in the session you've
described, and not with OS/2 sessions.
You can forego the floppy disk if you use the VMDISK command (to
actually create a diskette image on your hard disk). See the online
Command Reference for details.
