- I have a question about the support for CD-ROM under VP/ix or Merge.
- What I want to achieve is to allow a number of users running DOS
- sessions under VP/ix or Merge (preferably on serial terminals) to
- simultaneously access the data on a CD-ROM drive.
-
- My information on VP/ix and Merge is about two years out of date, but
- I remember that VP/ix was good at supporting DOS on scan-code terminals
- but had no CD-ROM support. I would have expected Merge by now to have
- CD-ROM support, but it had lousy serial terminal support the last time
- I looked.
-
- If I was to use VP/ix I would rather not get into DDA drivers etc...
-
- Can anyone help ?
-
- thanks
