- *SIGH*. When I posted the summary on this topic only a few hours ago,
- I inadvertantly chopped a paragraph out of Kai Uwe Rommel's response.
- Here is the resonse, in full, including my question. My apologies to
- Kai Uwe Rommel, and anyone hurt by my clumsiness.

- I use a ISA 486/33 and have a NEC CDR-84 internal CD-ROM drive (SCSI) on
- an Adaptec 1542B controller (together with a harddisk and streamer).
- Works out-of-the-box (with patching "TOSHIBA" to "NEC " in
- cdrom.sys) in OS/2, DOS and Windows sessions.
-
- However, I use it as a data medium only, I have no idea if it works with
- Windows Multimedia extensions in a Win-OS/2 session.
