If you have already a registered cd.device store it in a safe place . You can save the two utilities AtapiCheck and CdChanger where you prefer. INCLUDED FILES: cd.device : - v. 3.6 - bug fixed for wich the device crashes the system after the 1 h test and by a NscmdQuerry call - big-bug by the subchannel read code fixed .
