I've found after setting up 3 different eide drive not listed with RSJ
is that success is correctly identifying the drive in cddrv.inf. I use
the Dani atapi drivers, and enable BASEDEV=LOCKCDR.FLT. It will most
likely discover your recorder and set it to WORM. Then start the
CD-Writer control, attach the drive, and see the statement under the
System tab. I usually copy and paste it to cddrv.inf, rem out
BASEDEV=LOCKCDR.FLT and reboot. Sometimes it takes a little more
tweaking, and sometimes it works right off.

The first was a CDRW drive, Aopen crw1232, an OPTORITE DVD RW DD0201,
which does all you ask (dbd+-r,rw,cdr rw) and the latest is NEC DVD RW
ND-1300A.

I can't say the one you are asking about will work for sure, but I've
been three out of three, and that's EXCELLENT odds when trying to get
unknown hardware to work with os2.

P.S. Don't ever use a rotating lens cleaner on a drive, I ruined my
optorite that way.
