Darin,

You mis-understood the problem. There's no problem with OS/2 recognizing the 
drives (F: - J:). What I'm talking about is "opening" the tray
for a specific 
drive letter for changing the CD in the drive for that drive letter. I know it 
can be ejected/loaded via software control under windows, I'm looking for a 
way to do it under os/2 (as I said before, a CD player program I have is able 
to eject it, but has not option to re-load, and only works on the default 
audio device.)

Understand?
