No, HID is not involved, nor has SoftSCSI anything to do with it.
The modules that deal with DVDs are the same as those that deal with
CDs. In fact, we do not have any special DVD support anyway. Some DVDs
happen to look like CDs. These can be read because RISC OS thinks they
are CDs. None of the modules that handle CDs/DVDs are soft-loaded, so
even if your boot sequence was broken, it would not make any
difference in this respect.

You should not need to worry about such technical details - unless
there was any indication of anything being wrong with USB sticks,
which is what SoftSCSI is for.
