I actually did read this in the manual but couldn't find the mscdex line
in my autoexec.bat at the time. Now I have and the linux box can list the
contents of the cd fine and get files. i.e. it works.

The OS/2 box however gets garbaged listings.
I even went ahead and selectively installed CD ROM support.
It gets bad listings on all CD's i.e. ones with rockwell extensions
and plain FAT ones.

BTW the os/2 box still trap 000d's when trying to read the windows hard
drive.
