- A while back, I posted a request for help as far as getting my NEC CDR-73
- CDROM drive to work under OS/2 2.1b. The NEC CDR-73 is certainly
- one of the listed CDROM drives in the selective install CDROM section,
- and all the appropriate files seem to get installed and set up in
- my config.sys file. The machine boots up fine (no config.sys errors)
- but still there is no icon for the CDROM drive and no drive
- letter assigned to it for command line refernceing.
-
- It appears to me that my problem with this is that the PC thats
- using the CDROM ( a generic 486 33MZ ISA bus clone ) is using
- the NEC supplied SCSI adapter. There is no reference to this adapter
- in the SCSI adapter installation of the selective install
- menu.
-
- Does anyone know if:
-
- 1. I can pick some reasonable substitute for the NEC SCSI adapter
- from the supplied OS/2 2.1b selective install SCSI adapter list.
-
- or
-
- 2. I can get an NEC SCSI adapter OS/2 compliant driver set to
- install.
-
- Thanks,

- p.s. - I'm going to get the C++ workset off this CDROM one
- way or another!!
