I have checked every angle known to man (at least known to me).  I have
a Sony CDU535 proprietary bus drive. OS/2 only supports scsi. I have
spoken with IBM. They claim that they do not make device drivers for
other companies hardware. Fare answer. So that sends me to Sony. They
claim that they will not support OS/2 and that they have never made
their own drivers anyhow. Interesting answer, but still politically
correct of them. All of the drivers ever made for a Sony CD-ROM has been
made by Microsoft. Ahh. Here is my problem. There is no way in hell that
Microsoft is going to make a driver that is supporting OS/2 and IBM.
They were friendly with me, but had nothing real to offer me. I have
had friends give a whack at trying to make one. That was a dead end
street. All of this has taken me 2 months and created a hideous phone
bill.

My last resort is to post to this newsgroup in hopes to find out any
information. Can someone make me a driver..? Is it even possible..?
Is there a chance that somebody knows of one that already exists..?

If more information is needed, E-Mail me. I know most answers on this
subject, except for the ones I am asking now. If someone is willing to
help me out, then please E-Mail me. If no help comes about drivers, and
not rigged solutions like VDM's, then I will be forced to go back to
Windows 3.1.. a fate clearly worse than death. Thank you in advance.

                                         Sincerly,
                                            Brian D. Doe
