PowerBook 1400: SoftWindows 95 Cannot Read CDs (11/95)

I have installed Insignia Solutions SoftWindows '95 on a PowerBook 1400 series computer. Everything seems to function as expected when I am working in SoftWindows '95 except that it does not recognize anything in the CD-ROM drive in the Windows environment.


SoftWindows '95 needs to be upgraded to version 1.0.2 or later in order to recognize ATAPI interface CD-ROM drives (like the CD-ROM drive in the PowerBook 1400 series computers). A patch to version 1.0.2 can be found on the Insignia Solutions' ftp site: ftp.insignia.com.
