OK John, thanks for the confirmation - now can you tell me please - if I
want to emulate scsi (for the burner), then when I do finally make my (full)
reinstall, should I say yes or no to scsi at install time - just wondering
how self propelled the emulation is, and whether or not it needs to borrow
bits off of the normal scsi install.

Regards,
Ian
