new OS2CDROM.DMD driver (from Ernst Fueloep)
I have modified the OS2CDROM.DMD driver based on the source of the Developer Connection Device Driver Kit.

I have made the following modifications:
  • Added the option /I (for ignore) to tell the driver to ignore certain CDROM drive(s)
  • Fixed the slow CDROM audio initialization on Plextor drives
  • Added the display of the LUN number to /V verbose mode
You will find additional information why I have done this and the modified driver on the listed URL.

If you are only interested in the Plextor CDROM fix than I suggest you use the updated official OS2CDROM.DMD. IBM has recently added this fix to it. You can find the official new version of OS2CDROM.DMD on the OS/2 Device Driver Pak On-Line.
It is part of IDEDASD.EXE.
