CD0 with AsimCDFS v3.10 and OS 3.5 works on my end. If you have a
buggered up disk, go to http://www.asimware.com and use your serial
number to get access to the newest revision of AsimCDFS. (I think it's
v3.10.) It's what I'me using and it works fine for me.

AsimCDFS left the mount file (CD0) in SYS:Storage/DOSDrivers. It
mounted the CD in the User-Startup. With OS 3.1 I moved the assigns
for AsimCDFS to the Startup-Sequence and then moved the CD0 Icon to
DEVS:DOSDrivers that worked OK as well. The Install deleted the old
mount file and replaced it with the AsimCDFS Mount file. (So I made a
copy of the original and renamed it CD0.old) Right now I'm using the
stock instal config since I undertand that the faster CD-ROM drives
sometimes need a bit more time to spin up.
One thing I find annoying is with the default configuration, I had to
comment out the command "ECHO "Installing AsimCDFS..." or something
like that.
I think you'd be OK reinstalling the OS over itself. Just remember if
you had added any Datatypes after your last install they'll be moved
to the Datatypes-disabled drawer in the appriate directories. I don't
remember if anything in the WBStartup Drawer gets moved to another
disabled drawer.
Regards
Mark
I like work ... I can sit and watch it for hours.
