        letters, i.e. there are no (working) D:, E:, F: drives.

        I do have SHCDX33F and UIDE loaded for D: but never have any
        CD in the drive. Trying to access it empty gives a critical
        error (drive not ready).

        Trying to access either E: or F: gives a non-critical error
        (invalid path).
