I would appreciate it if you could let me know of any useful outcome?

I ordered it on the 25th, and only have the emailed version which I then
upgraded to 2.02b. I guess the snail mail must be running slowly.
One thing I tried was to format it in a Panasonic DVR I have, which takes
DVD RAM discs. This didn't make any practical difference, though. Having
done that, I then discovered the Tools > Show medium information, which I
hadn't noticed before.
Strangely, I see that both the disc I formatted and a new one out of the
box both say "DVD-RAM, formatted" under "Medium type" so perhaps these come
pre-formatted? The other boxes contain also exactly the same info.
These are Panasonic "DVD-RAM DISC (NON-CARTRIDGE) 3XSPEED" from Currys.
But CDFS filer reports either "CD-ROM drive empty" or "CDFS does not
support that type of disc" when I click on the drive icon whichever I try.
Is it a different CDFS module that is required, perhaps? My system shows:
*h.cdfs.
