Thanks, I now have the SCSI drive, and here is what I have found.

If I rem out the basedev=lockcdr.flt, then I can read CD's in the drive,
but I cannot enable RSJ to write to CD's.

If I leave in the lockcdr.flt device driver, I can use RSJ, but I no
longer have a CD reader.

OS2ASPI.DMD has been changed from /SHARE to /ALL.

I have an email in to RSJ, but in the meantime, I need to config.sys
files: one for reading CD's and one for writing to CD's.

Hopefully there is a tweak that has eluded me.
