That's instructive from a technical point of view and answered my 
question set out in the subject line. But I'm still left wondering why 
Steffen Huber's own CDVDBurn platter won't work. I'm sure it's a 
missing item of software/module, but can't work out what it could be. 
For instance, I don't have CDROMFS (V1.67) in this X100 like I have in 
the RPC as up to now the CD-drive worked perfectly without it... 
puzzling.
