I am trying to do something that is probably impossible. I want to run Street Atlas USA under WINOS2 with a Mitsumi CDROM. I have had success loading DOS applications using a VMB and bypassing the need for OS/2 specific CDROM drivers for the Mitsumi, but this needs Windows, not DOS. Any advice on how to approach this problem? I apologize if you saw a similar message in the OS/2 Support Forum.

Try geting ahold of the OS/2 v2.1 Beta code. It has expanded driver support for CD-ROMs. I can tell you if your CD-ROM is supported if you tell me the model number.

How about a NEC CDR 36 attched via a trantor parallel to SCSI card to a notebook running OS/2? Will the new OS/2 2.1 be any help?

Mitsumi Electronic Corp. CRMC-LU002 (internal) CRS-UF1201 (external). I have the internal model, but they have the same drivers. I would be great if v2.1 supported my drive. I guess I would have to load it via the diskettes rather than CD-ROM, though. I appreciate your help.
