I hope that there is someone out there who can help me figure out what to do 
about the message _CDR101: Not read ready drive D_. The cd-rom workstation 
that has started giving me this message had been working fine until this 
weekend. It's daisy chained with 4 Hitachi CDR-1503s, using MS-DOS CD-ROM 
Extensions Ver. 2.1 with MS-DOS 5.0. The software loads fine, I access the 
drive and then try a dir command. It talks to the player, then comes back 
with the error message.

Things I have tried: replacing the board, cable, and player. Reloading the 
extensions software. Cleaning the disc and the player. Calling technical 
support for SilverPlatter and Microsoft. I have tried everything I can think 
of (more than once) and can't get help on a local level. I'm hoping that one 
of you has succeeded where I have failed and I might learn from you.

Thank you in advance.
