    Thanks for that. ISTR Lars did NOT get it working.

    MY OS2DASD DANIxxx etc are all from ECS2.2 beta so are well up to date :>(no later changes to those that I am aware of)



    I checked for firmware changes. Turns out it is a Samsung box and
    thatthere is just one firmware upgrade (from June 2011). Made no
    difference!

    Just a progress report.

    Apart from making one coaster, not much!

    I looked at ibms506$ and atapi$ which made it seem that Dani software :>:>> had claimed the CD/DVD drive, so...

    Reading again the doc files from the DANI installation, I added
    /RSJ /A:1 /U:1 /TYPE=W

    Shouldn't that be BASEDEV=DANIATAPI.FLT /A:1 /U:1 /RSJ if you are
    applying the rsj backdoor for the first unit on adapter 1 ?

    to daniatapi.flt

    made no difference.....

    I notice that

    a) I can successfully erase the CD/DVD
    b) if I write a small amount (<1Mb) to the CD or DVD I can finalise fine
    c) If I write more (a few 100 Mb) it keeps getting errors and only a :>:>> reboot will terminate the process.



    I seem to recall similar behaviour years ago here with a CDRW...

    I think that was resolved by updating os2dasd.dmd - and possibly some other
    related drivers.

    It might be worth checking what the buildlevel of drivers involved are ie :>:>os2dasd.dmd, danis506.add, daniatap(i).flt and comparing those with the :>:>bldlevels Lars is using as he seems to have the same burner working.

    It may also be worth checking the manufacturers website for a firmware update
    - SB00 looks like an initial firmware release.

    Here is a copy from some of my notes that I keep in the RSJ backup
    folder.

    Required drivers:
    BASEDEV=DANIS506.ADD /VL
    BASEDEV=DANIATAPI.FLT
    BASEDEV=OS2DASD.DMD
    BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD /ALL
    DEVICE=C:\os2\ASPIROUT.SYS
    DEVICE=c:\os2\ASPINKK.SYS

    rem ***RSJ***
    DEVICE=D:\CDWFS\RSJSCSI.SYS
    IFS=D:\CDWFS\CDWFS.IFS
    RUN=D:\CDWFS\CDWFSD.EXE -p "e:/temp" -c20000 -b2048 -t2 -i3 -s0

    Note: Add the RSJ backdoor to Daniatapi.flt depending on writer
    adapter and unit.

    ------------------------------------

    Notes taken from rsj readme

    * If the DANIATAPI.FLT driver is installed, the user can choose if he
    wants to install our RSJIDECD.FLT driver, since DANIATAPI provides
    a similar functionality for enabling write access to IDE recorders.

    Background:
    DANIATAPI.FLT also has the ability to emulate SCSI devices. Since
    our LOCKCDR.FLT driver does - among other things - the same, it is
    possible to not use LOCKCDR.FLT if DANIATAPI is properly installed.
    Again, please read the information in the DANIATAPI.DOC file to
    find out how.

    NOTE:
    LOCKCDR.FLT performs dynamic recorder detection during boot time. If
    you
    do not use it, you have to manually edit the cddrv.inf file.

    Note: Copy the Dummy entry in cddrv.inf (use epm with mono font to get
    the spacing). Paste it in position for the drive and fill in the
    information (keep correct spacing!!!!)

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    End of notes.

    I don't know if this will help but it works for my 5.05 retail
    version.
