First, to make a correction to my previous post. It wasn't the CD
drive that was working, I was misled by the icon, it was the DVD
drive that was working. This confirms what Druck has said above.
I have configured 2 CD drives now and get 2 CD icons on the iconbar,
labelled :0 and :1 , where the former is the DVD drive; but the CD
drive is still not working -- it says "CD-ROM drive not found" when
I click on the icon. Do I need to alter the figure for CDFS buffers
which is currently at 256KB ?
Cheers, Dave Lane
