Basically, you can't use the SONY_CDU.SYS driver under OS/2 to access your 
DAK CD-ROM drive.  At least, not under native OS/2.  You can (and I do) use 
it with a Boot from Drive A type arrangement, which actually boots another 
version of DOS than the OS/2 MDOS.

It helps to have a version of MSCDEX.EXE that doesn't need SETVER.
