Hi Jordon,

I think I have pretty much the same setup, and I am using HPFS under Warp
4; FP15. I have the default numbers in the last line: -c20000 -b2048 -t2
-i3 -s0

When I click on the "attach" command, I get:
"The system cannot find the device specified."

If I enable the BASEDEV=LOCKCDR.FLT, then I can attach the burner and
write to it normally.

Two interesting developments:
I can use the shareware program CDRECORD without difficulty, so I know the
media and the drive work. Lately, when I use CD Recorder, as opposed to CD
Writer Control, I get a sys3184 error. It may be that something has gotten
corrupted. I have sent an email to RSJ but haven't heard anything yet from
them.

Still, I should be able to attach the burner without lockcdr.flt if you
can. Could there be anything else in config.sys that might be worth
checking?

Thanks very much,
Sandy
