croOkay, this gets kinda confusing, but I'll try to explain my
problem.  Here's my system info:

Gateway 2000, p100, 32 megs ram, 2 hard drives, Sanyo IDE 3 disk
changer CDROM, SCSI Iomega zip drive.  Running win95 first version,
not the OEM2 version or whatever its called.

Win95 will not properly work with my cd drive or zip drive now, even
though they show up as drive letters.  It all started when I installed
some new drivers for the Sanyo changer.  Something got messed up, and
I knew that the drivers for the changer were under
windows/system/iosubsys.  So I went into that directory and messed
around with some files, changing stuff around.  Anyways, I *thought* I
knew what I was doing, but I must have messed up something, because
now the cd drive and zip drive don't work.  The cd drive just reports
"A device attached to the system is not responding" when I try to
access it, and the zip drive shows tons of .chk files instead of the
correct files I have on the zip disk.  I checked my zip disks on
another drive and the data is still there.  So I know I screwed up
something, and most likely it dealth with the file system when I was
messing around with the IOSUBSYS directory.  

The contents of my SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS are at the end of this message, if
that helps anyone help me out at all --

I used to have both devices working, the zip and cd drive, but now I
dunno what to do. I've tried reinstalling drivers for both devices and
I only cause different types of problems.  Both devices work with old
DOS drivers, so I know its a win95 problem.  Any help is greatly
appreciated, I really don't want to reinstall :).  Thanks in advance!

Sorry I can't help you with your problem myself, but I can point you to
a newsgroup that can and usually will.

Try posting your story to ALT.COMPUTER.CONSULTANTS those that hang out
there are usually willing to help.
