Hi Steven,

Just had this exchange with Prism Data. We shall see . . . .
(Do you have any outlandish theory that might accomodate these
facts ?)

Thanks much, Katy. Both previous CDs #2 showed up exactly the
same
way on both my Plextor UltraPlex-32 reader, and my Plextor R-8/20

burner. This weekend, I will bring them with me to the SCOUG
meeting,
where there are always a couple machines set up for demos. That
will
give me an opportunity to view them on other makes / models of CD

drives. If those particular directories turn out to be
accessible on
other systems, it will be exceedingly weird. Will let you know
what I
find out.

On some _earlier_ Plextor models, there were certain CDs (burned
onto
media of certain colors) that could not be read. They had to
move to
a different type of laser pickup, in subsequent models. But that

situation involved whole CDs: either you could access them
completely,
or not at all. And I've heard no reports of anything along these

lines since.

But obviously, I'm going to have some serious problems installing
ECS,
if I can't figure out what is going on here.
