I would like to migrate to Windows XP but I have got a Sony CDU31A-02 CD-Rom.
It is not supported by XP and I did not found any driver for it.
Dows anyone know how to get it running?

Hi, AEAH.

Have you asked Sony? The ground rules are that Microsoft writes Windows;
hardware makers write the drivers that enable their products to work with
Windows. So, the ball is clearly in Sony's court.

But, as you may already know, a search of www.sony.com for CDU31A-02 gets NO
hits. Looks like they've orphaned this drive.

I can find a driver for CDU31A-02 at
http://www.cdrom-drivers.com/drivers/30/30825.htm, but it says it's for
"Windows 95 & DOS (Note: might work with other versions of this os.)". That
is most likely over-optimistic. WinXP deals with hardware much differently
from DOS and Win9x/ME, so any driver that works with those operating systems
almost certainly will not work wtih WinXP.

Sorry. :>(
