If anyone can help me, I'd be grateful. 

I purchased a refurb, or return SONY CDU31A-02 to go with my Logitech
Soundman games card. The CD player did not have any docs with it, but
the seller states these units work and test good. (read on) 

I found a cable for the 'main interface' and connected it to my system.
I was able to download a copy of the latest driver from Compuserve.
(SLCD 1.7A) What is that "sub interface" anyway?

Not having any instructions I used a simple 'device=c:\dos\slcd.sys'
on my config.sys file. That seems to work, the driver doesn't complain
about the drive, the read lamp comes on during boot and when I 
load a CD. 

Next I can't get the MSCDEX driver to recognize the cd player or driver,
and I'd like the system to look at the drive as a DOS disk or a CD
player (or both!). I don't have any docs for mscdex.exe so that much
is only guess work. If you can suggest a procedure please contact me.

If there is another newsgroup I should post to, please advise.
Any help is appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
