J. R.,

Since you have REM'ed out the LOCKCDR.FLT line, can I assume that you are using
Daniela's drivers so that you can also use your read/write unit as a CD reader without
the need to attach it through RSJ (Danelia's back door)?

Below, please find my CONFIG.SYS setup. I have a YAMAHA CRW3200 unit, which is
EIDE.

Also, each time I upgrade RSJ I have to be careful and replace the cddrv.inf file that
comes with the new installation with my previous one. The previous one is the one that
works with my unit. I had to edit it per RSJ instructions to include the unit. Perhaps you
have a similar problem and forgot about it??

Also, I would concentrate on installing RSJ the normal way, without Daniela's
drivers/back door and get it to work that way, first. You will know that your RSJ
installation is correct, because you will get the feedback during bootup that it
successfully recognized your drive unit. If you REM out LOCKCDR.FLT and
RSJIDECD.FLT you don't get that feedback during the driver loading at bootup.
