Aside of the already supported ones (e.g. Mitsumi), none are known by now. Of course, we're open to contributions. :) Mitsumi is not the only propriatary cd supported. I'm quite happy using a SoundBlaster w/ Sony CD-ROM. The only problem I have had with it was when I installed from the CD. You can't have himem or emm386 loaded and start the kernel from the CD. Other than that it works great. henry
