I have been to Stefan Huber's site and have read the Readme.
MMCSpeed does not have to be in Predesk, so moving it down the order
will prevent boot failing again.
Of late I have been using my own bootapps directory located in a
handier place (the root dir) than the supplied Tasks dir.
It saves delving into the !Boot structure, and is a central location
for what I am running at boot time so I can change things easily.
I can still use an Obey file to check for CDROMDrives > 0
rather than having it run into the error, though it doesn't
appear to be a problem now.
CDROMDrives isn't a system variable, so the cmos entry would have
to be read.
Cheers, Ron M.
