-
- They are supported, but for data-only. There is no audio CD support
- for these drives yet. You will need CDROM_G.SYS in order to use these
- NEC drives under OS/2 2.0, which is a generic CD-ROM driver (available
- via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu). We have a NEC CDR83, which
- is the internal version of the NEC CDR84, and it works just fine under
- OS/2 2.0 with CDROM_G.
-
- Full support for the NEC CDR84 and the CDR74 (including audio CD support)
- is supposed to be coming in later CSDs/versions of OS/2 2.0.
