Can you just put into config.sys the line
device=aspi.sys   (with path to aspi.sys if not in main directory)?

DOS cdroast and/or cdrecord had some way to install the driver on the fly 
and then remove it afterwards.  If you don't have those (one of them is a 
very slow download) I can look it up.  I managed to unautomate the process 
so as to choose the second cd-rom drive.  I would like to know how to 
install/uninstall DOS drivers without config.sys anyway (so we can omit 
the two USB drivers from config.sys, which slows down booting because they 
keep looking for a USB device).

I ran across mention of this - it may be based on one of the other two 
programs (cdroast?).  I will check it out some time for copying music CDs. 
Thanks.
