Nick, MSCDEX should not be needed IF you have a supported SCSI & CDROM drive. There is a new BETA driver available in one of the OS2 forums (I think OS2SUPPORT) called OS2CDR.ZIP. I have downloaded it an am using it on my NEC 74 connected to an IBM SCSI board. This driver even supports sound now. I had some problems with the generic driver and DOS programs returning MSCDEX not loaded or wrong version. This one does not have that problem. Unfortunately, the OS/2-DOS APPEND command does not support the /X switch, so I still can't get the Wing Commander/Ultima CDROM to load, but at least it's not a driver problem. GADS
