Sandy:

I think IDE might be different from SCSI here.
(sorry, I don't have much IDE stuff).

As best I recall, the RSJ driver identifies the writer and
locks it out from a drive letter assignment. I think that's
why you have to add the command-line argument to the Warp SCSI
driver, maybe more.

I have to believe it's discussed somewhere in the RSJ
documentation -- I don't know where else I would have found
the info. See if you can get a hit searching on the /all
switch for os2aspi, RSJ, SCSI, etc.

Nevertheless Google found (among others):

PLUS

http://www.rsj.de/private/mbk/cdrom/about_us.htm

I'm sure there must be others.

Apparently you also have to rem out the LOCKCDR.FLT statement in config.sys
