I'm about to buy a new pc with an Iomega CD-RW minus a separate CD-ROM coz it will duplicate the CD-RW. But will OS/2 Warp4 recognise the CD-RW when I install it(OS/2)?

It should as long as you have OS/2 drivers
for it.I've got a CDR and CDRW on my machine
have had no problems but then I have got an
all SCSI system, but there shouldn't be
any prolems.

Just about any CD-RW will be usable as a CD-Rom drive. It's up to your software to use it as CD-RW if you should desire to do so. Besides RSJ (which is quite expensive, but good), you would also want to take a look at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Sector/5785/index.html for the (free) cdrecord package.
