WANTED
	What is the best combination of interrupt and memory address for using
a CDROM drive with os2.  I have a texel 3024 internal drive that is supported
with a Future Domain 850M 8bit SCSI interface card that is also suported with
the OS2 2.1 Beta.  My problem is that Os2 won't recognize the cdrom.  

	INTERRUPTS
		I can select from IRQ 3 or IRQ 5 but my mouse controls IRQ 3 on
Com2.  The card supposedly does not use an interrupt under DOS but it might
under OS2.  I am currently using the default of IRQ5.

	MEMORY ADDRESSES
		The card is currrently using CA00h (default) in the primary
address space.  The other options are C800h, CE00h and DE00h in the primary
address range and E800h and EC008h in the extended range.  

	Can some of you fellow netters out there that are successfully running
CD-roms, please email me the settings for your interface card (especially if
you have the Texel and/or the Future Domain).  Please e-mail to save bandwidth
and I will post a summary back to this group in a couple of days.

	Also, is there any other thing I can do to make OS2 recognize the
CD-ROM.  I have Cyrix 486DLC if that makes any difference.

	Thanks a bunch in advance,
		Scott
