I installed Windows 3.11 for Workgroups. I need to install a CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM model is a SANYO CRD-1332P.
Would a Windows 95/98 driver work on Win 3.11? If not is there a Windows 3.11 driver anywhere for it? Thanks!

There is no Windows 3.1/11 cdrom drivers. What you need is a DOS IDE cdrom driver as Windows 3.1/11 is not really an operating system (it is only a GUI or shell.) Oakcdrom.sys is a very common one available on the Internet. A line for it needs to be placed in the config.sys file for the driver and a line for mscdex.exe needs to be placed in the autoexec.bat file. You can get the driver here:

and many other places on the Internet.
