First of all congratulations to all the fine people on the MJ8.0 developers team.
I stumbled over an odd bug in your otherwise very astute software. I recently changed my system configuration (installed yet another harddisc - #3) and suddenly I could no longer RIP or PLAY any CD in my DVD-ROM drive which became driver letter "G"
On playing only the "digital playback" mode was affected - unable to playback any title. Analog play via soundcard cable was still possible. Ripping - digitally - was neither possible anymore. A message like "could not open CD-ROM" or similar surfaced. Burning on my burner (Driver Letter H) still worked.
I changed it back, hiding the newly created "F" partition with a partition table editor. The DVD ROM got its "F" drive letter back and everything worked again. Seems MJ cannot access / play / rip any CD/DVD on a drive letter beyond "F". Unfortunately since I'm not on WinNT 4 or Win2000 I cannot place my HDD drive letters towards the end of the Drive letter assignments - which should alleviate the problem - but it's not a fix..
My suspicion is that I spotted a bug in your CDA-INPUT Plugin module (which would explaind this "experience"). I even downloaded the newest WINASPI from Adaptec (Nov.2002) and your most recent MJ8.0 Build. No change. I even downloaded the most recent CDA-Plugin ("Input plugin") with the plugin manager. No change at all..
