Hi Jerry

Watch your drivers CDROM.DMD Version 10.157 is a must and also latest USB drivers

To find what version you have go to a command prompt and then at x:OS2\BOOT
do bldlevel CDROM.DMD and if you have less than 10.157 upgrade the driver

Watch config.sys:

REM 
REM *** RSJ CD-Writer File System ***
REM 
REM RSJ 6.0
REM 
BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD /ALL
IFS=D:\CDWFS\CDWFS.IFS
RUN=D:\CDWFS\CDWFSD.EXE -p "D:/LOTUSW4/TEMP" -c20000 -b2048 -t2 -i3 -s0
REM BASEDEV=LOCKCDR.FLT *** Not needed ***
REM DEVICE=D:\CDWFS\RSJSCSI.SYS *** Not needed ***

BASEDEV=LOCKCDR.FLT, D:\CDWFS\RSJSCSI.SYS are NOT needed with the latestest drivers

If you have a wrong combination of drivers, then RSJ or System will hang

Regards Al
