*snarl*

Was trying out VMWare over the weekend, installing Win95 into a
virtual machine. Naturally, the VM worked perfectly, but Win95, as
usual, refuses pointblank to recognise the CD. This is a perfectly
normal Pioneer 32X slotfeed ATAPI CD-ROM, on IDE1:0, and it's
added correctly to the VM (if I have it mounted under Linux, the VM
correctly warns me that it's unavailable), but Win95 simply cannot
see it.

Has anyone else successfully installed DOS mode ATAPI CD drivers
under VMware, and got a CD working correctly?
