Brian,

From what you have posted, I am thinking that your CDRW/DVDRW USB drive is not fully compat with the generic mass storage system in USBASPI.SYS.

If you really need DOS access, you may have to buy a generic USB2.0/Firewire case and put a IDE ATAPI CDRW/DVDRW drive into it and then use that.

I at this time don't have any other ideas for you to try at this time.

Greg,

I have another idea for you. In that pack that has the Panasonic USBASPI.SYS ver 2.06 and the USBCD.SYS in it. There is also another file called RAMFD.SYS. I have been playing with that and found that if you are using a normal 1.44MB floppy disk you put that RAMFD.SYS in your config.sys before the USBASPI.SYS and what it will do is convert the FLOP into a RAM image and will no longer use the floppy disk or the disk image off of a CD. I have only been able to test this with 4 computer systems so far, but it has worked.

Let me know if this idea works for you.
