: Just the same problem I have but with a Chinon CDS-430. My driver has
: version number 1.11 (1989). Has anyone on the net a recent version of 
: CHINON01.SYS? 
: Thanx.

I have yet a different problem.

I have a Toshiba XM3301B attached to an Adaptec AHA5142B SCSI controller. The
whole thing work fine in OS/2, even the beta with winos2 3.1 support.

However, under DOS, I have the Adaptec ASW-410 toshiba driver loaded (v2.1)
and mscdex (2.21) loaded. All the drivers indicate successful loading, but any
attempt to access the drive (like dir e:) gives me "Disk not High Sierra or
ISO9660 format". I have tried different disks, and as I said, it reads it
fine under OS/2.

The kicker is that I can use the MCI CD audio player in Windows 3.1 just fine
to play music CD's. I just cannot read data CD's.
