Subject: Re: [OS2Wireless] ThinkPad DVD Writer Problem

I now have one remaing problem: the DVD-burner shows up twice in the
drive list (and twice in the JJSCDROM drive list when the machine is
booted.)  Both drive letters, S: and T:, seem to refer to the same
drive.  At the moment, I have:
...
IFS=C:\OS2\BOOT\CDFS.IFS /Q /W
rem DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\OS2CDROM.DMD /Q
rem the line below added 10/1/07
DEVICE=C:\JJSCDROM\JJSCDROM.DMD /V /R:1 /W
...
rem BASEDEV=DANIS506.ADD
rem the following line changed 10/1/07
BASEDEV=DANIS506.ADD /PCS
...
rem the line below modified 10/1/07
rem BASEDEV=DANIATAP.FLT /EJ /A:1 /U:0 /TYPE:ZWL /RSJ
BASEDEV=DANIATAP.FLT /EJ /RSJ
BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD
BASEDEV=OS2LVM.DMD
BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD /ALL
...
REM *** RSJ CD-Writer File System ***
BASEDEV=LOCKCDR.FLT
DEVICE=C:\CDWFS\RSJSCSI.SYS
IFS=C:\CDWFS\CDWFS.IFS
RUN=C:\CDWFS\CDWFSD.EXE -p "C:/var/temp" -c80000 -b16384 -t2 -i3 -s0

Removing either BASEDEV=LOCKCDR.FLT or DEVICE=C:\CDWFS\RSJSCSI.SYS
results in a "device not found" error when I try to attach a drive in
the CD Writer Control.

Any suggestions as to how I may be able to get rid of one of these
extraneous drive letters?  Nothing I have tried seems to work.  It was
my impression that DANIATAP.FLT would be a replacement for LOCKCDR.FLT
but alas, that does not seem to be the case.

Thanks.

Hakan
