Actually the first is a generic Atapi cdrom
the second a Liteon CDRW.  The drives are as follows:
IDE1 MASTER drive 1
IDE1 SLAVE  cdrom
IDE2 MASTER cdrw
IDE2 SLAVE  drive 2


I trashed the driver on C: and lost the source disk and url.

So I am looking into XCDROM and SHCDX33A.  For now I am just trying to
load software Ill worry about burning later.

The documents indicate both could work.

Which is preferred?

Based on my reading of the documents:

SHSUCDX /D:CDROM,,1,1 /D:CDRW,,2,1

or

DEVICE=C:\DOS\XCDROM.SYS with XDMA under certain conditions.

in the config.sys file.

The hardware is a Gigabit PII with an IBM and WD hard disks.
How do I test whether XDMA is needed.
