"You", not me, but whoever packaged eCS. Do we have any hope of eCS
ever working out-of-the-box, or is it to forever be fiddle ware? You
might legitimately say I should know all this stuff. But is eCS never
to be useful for mear mortals?

My comparison is W2K, six years old, we can't even compete with that. I
have the "Shootout in Texas", OS/2 vrs NT, VHS. I am not sure we would
win that dual today.

But thanks for the review.

Out on the end of a drives cable after it had dropped voltage at several
drives.

Oh, and when I delete jjscdrom, I loose optical support. Is there a
different driver\setup you would suggest?
