I claim that I had to go way off the beaten track to confirm it, and that it is unreasonable to expect me (or any *reasonable* person, who would be using a SCSI CDROM drive) to have travelled that same path, other than unwittingly. I further claim that the fact that I was wrong is irrelevant, since many 16 bit drivers *still* do not work "happily" without serious changes away from the Microsoft defined Windows95 default configuration; any driver which hooks INT 21 rather than INT 13, or the INT 27 "DOS not busy" interrupt, will still fail.
