Jordan,
Well, you are ahead of me; I haven't tried installing the Media Refresh
or the 2.0 Beta. It was with eCS 1.2 GA that I had "trouble", and had
to either add or modify the USBMSD line in CONFIG.SYS. It sounds as if
you are getting about what I was in 1.2 GA.

Anyway, the important thing is to get the new versions working as you
want them to, and it sounds as if you are getting there....
