Lewis,

Some time ago I repartitioned the harddisk on my TP43p, erased all
traces of XP and have since been running eCS 1.2MR.  With 1.2MR, I have
come closer to being able to burn DVDs (CDs have always worked) on the
machine but am not quite there -- I can copy large files, over several
Gbs in total, to the DVD but I cannot finalize them.  RSJ becomes
unresponsive and with nothing else running, CPU utilization is just
below 1.0%.  Thus, I went back to your e-mails from May (see below) and
see that our CONFIG.SYS files are different (we also have slightly
different Matshita drives) but I don't think the problem lies there.  A
couple of questions for you:

* Why are you using the JJSCDROM.DMD driver?  Did eCS install it
or did you install it later?  If the latter, why? Also, did you remove
something?
* I don't have BASEDEV=DANIATAP.FLT /EJ /A:1 /U:0 /TYPE:ZWL
/RSJ, only BASEDEV=DANIATAP.FLT without any flags at all.  Again, did
the system install the above or did you install it later?  If so, why?
Did you remove something?

Many thanks.

Hakan
