Look in eCS 1.2 config.sys for:

"RESERVEDRIVELETTER=R"

Actually do believe introduced in config.sys by Kim Cheung in eCS 1.0 so
that the CDs will always start as "S" and the next CD will be "T", etc.

Thus one CD will be "S" while the other CD will be "T" in your
configuration; these settings will be stable as long as you do not swap
the internal cables. You will find out quick which is which.

If I had to guess, the Primary Master > Primary Slave > Secondary Master >
Secondary Slave in the assignment of drive letters for CD-ROMs assuming
ATAPI/IDE from a motherboard without SCSCI CDs.

>I will try Larry's suggestion for the time being and let you know.

Best educated guess - that's what I would try first in the box that you
have described. Good luck.
