No. Multi-session refers to the way the CD is created, in more than one
session. to the end user it appears as a single disc. Multi-volume
effectively gives the disc more than one partition (for want of a better
word). If CacheCDFS is set to multi-volume, you'll get a requester
asking you which volume to mount when you insert the CD.

That's AmiCDFS2 on the AACDs. Use CacheCDFS.

Use atapi.device. The unit number depends on where you have your CD
drive connected. Unit three is the slave unit on the secoind interface.

Try moving all CD related files out of DEVS:DOSDrivers and
Storage/DOSDrivers and running the IDEfix installer again. It sounds
like you may have an odd mixture of files clashing with each other.
