Well... Glenn did help me many years ago and it was not easy to get all
things right. But, we managed and I write CD's for many years now.

One thing did not function correctly: burning a rewritable CD.

I tried the recepy to indentify the CD-drives but failed.
How I did it many years ago??? Now idea :-)

Not enough memory for this program :-(

But resetting the machine resulted in:
Installed CDROM Devices...
  0:0:0 LITEON   CD-ROM LTN403    DU22
  0:1:0 IDE-CD   R/RW 4x4x32      1.10

The burner is the second item 0:1:0
