Thanks, Harry. I was about to write them, wanted to wait to hear what you had to say on the subject
first.

This directly contradicts something they told me, when I wrote them (a year ago ?), in anticipation
of buying a DVD unit. At that time, they told me DVD units should be recognized automatically, and
not reequire adjustments to CDDRV.INF.

What's the need for this. There is a discrete RSJ section of Config.Sys, which is clearly
demarcated. I can just REM this out. Shouldn't that be as good as uninstalling ? Those lines
aren't doing anything anyway, the way things stand now.
