Hello people.  I'm having a weird problem with an NEC Intersect CDR-77 CD-ROM
reader.  The system includes the drive itself, the appropriate SCSI cables
and terminator, and the driver software that installs as an init.  After the
init loads, any disc put into the drive should appear on the desktop as a
regular volume.

Well, I set it all up and put the CD into the machine and I got a message
"Please unlock the disk...  The desktop file could not be created."  If that
isn't bad enough, when I boot from a floppy instead of from my hard drive,
the disc mounts without a hitch.

Of course, I tried the pro forma troubleshooting techniques; taking all the
inits out of my system folder, changing SCSI ID codes, changing the order
of the peripherals in the SCSI chain, etc.  I also tried replacing the system
and finder on my hard drive with the ones from the floppy and I still get that
maddening message.

This one has even the NEC people stumped.  Any suggestions?
