When it's an "I" :)

Maplins. The cataloge doesn't specify whether they have upper byte
termination, but they work reliably, even with early versions of
cybppc.device, which was notoriously sensitive to termination issues.

I usually use my IDE drive for CD reading, but just tried SecondSpin
with the CD-R. It hung the system, with no message, as soon as it tried
to read a track from CD.MakeCD was able to read the track without a
problem, so I suspect the problem may be with SecondSpin.

I use the files created when I installed CacheCDFS, with the device and
unit adjusted accordingly.

I think I set mine to 8 bit, removable, reselection on, no mount. but
I'm not going to reboot just to check :)
