OS/2 Status Detail: Not Available PE PTF List: PTF List: Parent APAR: Child APAR list: ERROR DESCRIPTION: The Sony 55E, Sony 55D, and Mitsumi FX001DE cdrom's will not work in OS2 Warp. These are IDE cdrom's that are on the supported list for OS2 Warp. The Warp IBM1S506.ADD driver provides ATAPI support for IDE cdrom's, but these three cdrom's are not fully ATAPI compliant. . An inquiry command to an ATAPI compliant cdrom should return an even number of bytes, but in the case of the Mitsumi drive, an odd number of bytes is being returned. The Sony drives are initializing in improper mode. LOCAL FIX: None currently.
If you need up to date information about the status of this problem, contact IBM and quote the APAR identifier.
