Thanks very much Peter.
Mystery solved.

It turned out to be a tweak in the daniatapi.flt switches.

I remembered (finally) that I had had a problem with my new motherboard
because of a PCI slot conflict and my SCSI card. In trying to trouble
shoot that problem, I changed my CD ROM drive from slave to master.
Somehow, that didn't affect its operation with that motherboard. (Moving
the SCSI card to another slot solved that problem).

But when I put my old motherboard back in, I now had the wrong switch.

I changed /U:1 to /U:0 and everything fell into place. Now I have both CD
ROM drive and CD Writer.

On another note, I am thinking of replacing this CD Writer, and I am
debating between SCSI and IDE. Anyone have a recommendation?

Thanks,
Sandy
