Thanks to all the folks to reply. Between you, you have solved several
uncertainties I had as the line before the ES1868 failure was
Audiodrive not found. The machine when I originally got it was a Time
Computer Office spec 200mmx system with a cheapo ESS combined 2Mb
system ram audio video card. I have subsequently replaced this with  a
now aging matrox millenium and soundblaster 32 plug & play. The CD
audio cable now goes into the soundblaster, so if I understand
correctly there should be no cd problems if I "lose" the config line
which goes as follows:

Device=C:\essutil\ess1868.com /A:0 /I:0

The next line seems to cover the cd:

Device=C:\window\command\cdrom.sys /D:cd-rom
(this I wont touch)

Julian
