Thanks, Dave.

I changed the CD-RW from slave to master (on the 2nd ide channel). That
now allows me to boot up OS/2 from the standard IDE connector as well as
the Ultra 100 IDE connector. However, I still cannot see the CD Rom drive
in OS/2

Here is what I can do:
If I connect the secondary cable, with the CD-RW, on the Ultra ATA 100 IDE
connector, I can see the CD Rom drive in OS/2, but I then cannot see it in
Windows, and I cannot boot from the CD Rom.

If I connect the cable to the other secondary IDE connector (not the Ultra
100), I lose it in OS/2 but can then see it in Windows and can boot from
it.

There must be some way to force OS/2 to see the CD-Rom drive when it is
connected to the regular (not the ATA 100) connector. Something is CMOS
maybe?

Thanks,
Sandy
