If it's atapi, it'd probably work with a generic ide cd-rom driver. It'd be interesting to
know what that driver is doing wrong - standard drivers should work; I think it's
more likely that the driver's misbehaving than that OpenDOS is buggy.

Anyway, you could try trawling the 'net for another IDE CD-ROM driver. If that fails, my
cheap CD-ROM driver came with a driver that looks pretty generic; I could zip it
up and mail it out, 'coz it works under OD for me!
