Micro Solutions, Inc. Releases OS/2 Driver For CD-ROM Backpack Drive

Micro Solutions, Inc. announces the availability of a device driver for
OS/2 for the backpack double speed CD-ROM drive. The backpack CD-ROM drive
is an external plug-and-play printer port drive. It attaches via the
parallel printer port. No internal adapter card is required. The new
driver works with OS/2 version 2.1. It was written in response to many
requests from corporate users who have OS/2 operating environments and
want the convenience of our plug-and-play CD-ROM drives. The OS/2 driver
is an add on software package which can be purchased separately for a
retail cost of under forty dollars (U.S.). The software is sold both
direct and through current Micro Solutions distribution channels.

The OS/2 driver provides access to all the same features that users are
currently enjoying with the DOS driver software that is included with each
backpack CD-ROM drive. The OS/2 driver allows a user to play audio CDs,
access Photo CDs and thousands of multimedia titles. You can also access
DOS program CDs under OS/2. To obtain more information on the OS/2 driver,
please call 800.890.7227 Ext. 200 (U.S.A./Canada) or 815.756.3411 and ask
for sales.

The model #162550 double speed CD-ROM backpack drive's suggested retail
price is $499.00 (U.S.). It is compatible with all PCs, compatibles and
portables. The new double speed backpack CD-ROM drive is also EPP Aware.
This will allow for faster data transfers. The provided software searches
for EPP compatibility to push the drive to its maximum performance level.
The drive also features a built-in audio circuit with both headphone and
line output jacks.

Solutions external parallel printer port drives. Backpacks are also
