or load TDSK before loading CD drivers, etc.
SRDISK respects driveletters, as do RDISK, SHSURDRV, XMSDSK etc.
As both SRDISK and TDSK are GPL it might be possible to copy some init code.

Your suggestion is correct, but I'm trying to work with whatever 
bootdisk or configuration people happen to use. That more often ends up 
with 'CD is next available driveletter' instead of smart 'CD uses some 
driveletter at end of alphabet'. This also prevents a 'load tdsk before 
cd drive' scenario.

CD access is destroyed on the spot as TDSK is loaded. If purely using 
SHSUCDX things are relatively easy: just assign a 2nd driveletter to the 
same physical CD drive, run from there, and allow to unload 1st 
driveletter or let it be destroyed/overwritten.


Anyway, thanks for feedback :)
