I think the CL 4x is a Panasonic 574B, which is what I have at present. It came with drivers for OS/2. Besides the normal cdrom drivers that OS/2 installs you will need the following file and statement in config.sys BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT Which is the IDECDROM filter for the ST506 driver. Also mine uses the following:BASEDEV=MKEATAPI.ADD Now if you like email me and I'll uuencode the file and send it to you via email. Other than this play around with whether the drive will run as primary or secondary etc, just stuff around with the jumpers. Also to check the loading of device drivers at startup (when the little white square is in the top corner) press ALT & F2 and it then shows each driver being loaded. Email if you need more help.

I've moved mine to be master on the SB16 with the SB16 as configured from the factory (tertiary, I think). >:>the really strange thing is when i go into warp's Selective Install, i >:>: (1) choose "Non-listed IDE CD-ROM" for the CD, (2) go into that page >:>with the other items you could install on your drive, click OK, then >:>it (3) asks for a system diskette, and then a second installation >:>disk. i don't think it's talking about the 2 install disks that came >:>with the warp CD as it still keeps saying "please remove disk and >:>insert installation disk 2" (or something like that). why? if i >:>installed it *from a CD*, why would it ask for installation diskette >:>2? or does it mean i should go into DOS and get a copy of disk 2 from >:>the CD? i'm extremely stumped. I'm a bit confused here; I installed the Panasonic drivers (CR574-B) because that was the drive bundled with my 4X Soundblaster package. It had an install script that was well and truly screwed up, asking for the wrong disks (as you've suggested) -- it took a bit of deciphering to figure out what was going on. If indeed it's the Panasonic driver you're trying to install, email me and I'll pack up what I finally managed to install (the original driver package, 57XOS2.EXE, is hopeless). If in fact this is *not* the driver you're trying to install, I can't help. >I think the CL 4x is a Panasonic 574B, which is what I have at present.

Once I got it working, it's done well (very well). Good luck! ---tpc--- -- I am sole owner of the above opinions. These opinions are furnished without warranty or liability expressed or implied.
