If I do this, will I get 2 (different) icons ? I am using CacheCDFS
from IDEFIX ? If I install CacheCDFS2 from an AACD, what device should
I use (scsi.device, atapi.device) ? I guess it should be atapi.device,
but what unit ? 3 as shown by the installer ?

I believe I have IDEFIX97 using atapi.device, when I have the OS3.9 CD
in, I can 'open' the CD, but when I click to install OS3.9, the
drive spins up even faster (sounds like Concorde coming into land !!)
and then my miggy hangs, then crashes. I don't have this problem when
using my (old) 8x CD drive, but that can't read multisession CD's.

Could the versions of software I'm using be causing a problem, any
recommended levels to go to ? IDEFix99 ? Or should I just use
scsi.device on OS3.9 (bearing in mind I have a 4 way splitter thingy)
