The fact that you can use your new unit as a CDROM unit indicates to me that RSJ
REALLY is not recognizing your unit at bootup and doing the proper things. If it was
doing what it was supposed to, you would not be able you use your new drive as a
CDROM unit, when booting with the CD_NO.CFG_TRY_THIS_FIRST file. That
CONFIG.SYS was designed to use RSJ just exactly as you would under a fresh RSJ
install (that is, no Daniela's back door). Therefore, the problem is RSJ reading and
ID'ing your unit at boot up.

I had that problem with my Yahama unit. I suggest you do what I did. I E-Mailed the RSJ
folks and explained the problem. They informed me that their software did not
recognize my unit. They told me how to edit my cddrv.inf file to get RSJ to recognize it at
boot. After that everything else was gravy.

In summary, E-Mail RSJ. But first, you've got to set up your RSJ installation just like RSJ
originally intended it. I suggest that you uninstall it and then reinstall it. But after that do
not fool around with it. If it does not work after a fresh reinstall, E-Mail RSJ with your
information.
