I'm not sure on this point - if you mean do I have the writer mounted,
then no - I have the CD-ROM mounted as usual, but never mount the
writer unless I have a CD I can't read. I keep the writers DosDriver
in storage.

Mine was a long way out of date, and I only reflashed it because of
the updates to the SCSI system. Leave well alone is my motto otherwise
:)

I would if I could - but I can't see it!
There is an outside chance I could change it if I had an image of the
early boot menu - is there any way it could be grabbed and perhaps
attached to me? Off list, of course.
If not, how many options down from the top is it?
I can see this is going to cause me problems...

Damn, I wasn't aware I'd lose all the settings, that explains why the
new HD takes a while to fire up, as all the other units, which I had
disabled, are probably now enabled, and the device checks them all
before coming to the new HD at unit 10 :(
