But I cannot seem to access the drive from an OS/2 window. I would appreciate any information on how to accomplish this, if it is possible. Sony is purportedly working on a driver (and do contact them to tell them you are interested) for their CD-ROM adapter. Until that time, you will be restricted to using your CD-ROM in the session you've described, and not with OS/2 sessions. You can forego the floppy disk if you use the VMDISK command (to actually create a diskette image on your hard disk). See the online Command Reference for details. -- Timothy F.
