Well - Because of a recent storm here in wonderful Raleigh, NC - I just got hit again with this... But - the mail storm which followed my last rant about bootable CDROMs was of adequate ferocity to cause me to cower in a corner. I will, dutifully, simply turn off bootable CDROMs in my aha2940. However; let me point out that I believe, because of the difference in size, a CDROM is not the same as a floppy. One tends to leave a CDROM in the drive to get access to the (comparatively voluminous) bits... this is rarely true of floppies. Furthermore, if all of the machines that support bootable CDROMs have the feature disabled as the user gains more knowledge, it doesn't speak well of the feature, does it? Basically, I said "It hurts when I do this" and everyone replied "Don't do that..." - Dave R. -
