I finally tried to install RSJ tonight without Daniella's back door. It
hung the boot.

After reading some of the SCOUG board emails between you and others, I
added the info necessary to identify my CD-RW drive to the
BASEDEVICE=LOCKCDR.FLT line. That took care of the hang, but the boot
still stopped with the statement that rsjscsi.sys was not installed in
G:\CDWFS (my location for RSJ) and that the line
DEVICE=G:\CDWFS\RSJSCSI.SYS was being ignored. Booting resumed when I hit
enter.

But the file is in that directory. So I don't understand what is going
on.

Maybe the problem is my cddrv.inf file. It is 15425 bytes and is dated
3-12-02, 11:29:06. If the one you received from RSJ is newer, will you
please send me a copy.

Or, if you think my problem is something else, please tell me what it is.

Thank you.

Jack
