Its a Ford factory service manual disk for pulling up automotive diagnostics/schematics etc.  The disk installed without a problem using wine /path/to/cdrom/install.exe . I can also run the locally installed executable file without a problem once again using wine /path/to/local.exe .  The problem is that the program requires a callback to the cdrom drive either to load the files on the fly or for protection.  Every time I actually try to load one of the schematics/pages the program just says:

Did you create the drive as D: ?  Most programs from that era expect the 
drive to be at that location.  Also be aware that Wine's support of 
Windows 3.1 and Windows95 programs is very limited.
