OS/2 and Panasonic CDROM: Help!



Ok, after too long a delay I finally found the time to install OS/2 Warp
Connect on my little TP750Cs. I set the weekend aside, told friends and 
relatives that I was going away for the weekend, backed up all the data,
read the manual, and sat down full of optimism... Never made it past the
first diskette! My trustworthy Panasonic KXL-D720 CD-ROM (at least it is
so under DOS/Windows) remained invisible... I tried all the tricks in my
book: from re-reading the manual to minor modifications in the config.sys;
from cursing to sweet-talking the machine into just taking a brief, brief
look at the nice little CD-ROM player sitting next to it. Nothing would
remove the cloak of invisibility from the poor Panasonic... Help! How do
I install an OS that comes in a CD-ROM when the #&@$(&? thing wont even
see the CD-ROM player? (Yes, it is plugged in, and ON!!!) Thank you, and
forgive the warped (oh, that word again!!!) sense of humour: it is the
frustration of many hours sitting in front of this machine...

PS. I seem to remember someone asking me how to do this a few months
    back - ahh... Perhaps you gave up in desperation too!...
