DOS ain't dead

UIDE and SHSUCDX don't work (Users)

Two weeks ago I tried the SHSCUCDX and UIDE/Jr drivers on my older PC, but unfortunately they didn't work.
My HW configuration is:
Processor: Intel Pentium 200 MHz MMX (P55C)
RAM: 128 MB
HDD: Transcend SSD 16GB IDE (set in BIOS: Size: 16007M, Cyls: 1964, Head: 255, Precomp: 0, Landz: 31027, Sector: 63, Mode: LBA)
CD-RW: Plextor PlexWriter Premium II
DVD-ROM: LG HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8164B

OS: MS-DOS 6.22
config.sys:
shell=c:\dos\command.com c:\dos /E:512 /P
device=c:\dos\himem.sys /testmem:off
dos=high
device=c:\dos\emm386.exe verbose noems notr
dos=umb
buffers=11,0
files=30
fcbs=1,0
stacks=0,0
lastdrive=f
rem devicehigh=c:\cdrom.sys /D:Plextor /D:LG
devicehigh=c:\uide.sys /N1 /UX /S40 /D:Plextor /D:LG
rem devicehigh=c:\uidejr.sys /N1 /UX /D:Plextor /D:LG

autoexec.bat:
@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $p$g
PATH c:\;c:\DOS;c:\mouse
ctmouse
rem lh c:\dos\mscdex.exe /D:Plextor /D:LG
shcdx33d /D:Plextor /D:LG

When I turn on the PC and look at the screen, after "execution" of the drivers mentioned above following messages are displayed:
UIDE, 9-07-2009. 40-MB Cache, CD/DVD name is LG.
IDE0 Controller at I-O address F000h, Chip I.D. 80867010h.
CD0: IDE0 Secondary-master, Plextor CD-R Premium2, PIO.
CD1: IDE0 Secondary-slave, HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8164B, PIO.

SHCDX33D, 30-May-2009. Based on V.3.03 SHSUCDX by Jason Hood and
V1.4b SHSUCDX by John H. McCoy, Sam Houston State University.

Cannot open CD driver PLEXTOR. SHCDX33D cannot load!

When I try to use an old not much efficient cdrom.sys and memory hungry mscdex.exe, after turn on the PC I see this on the screen:
IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM Device Driver Version 2.11 17:30:39 06/07/96
CD-ROM drive #0 found on 170h port master device, v1.01
CD-ROM drive #1 found on 170h port slave device, v0L06

Device driver not found : 'PLEXTOR'.
MSCDEX Version 2.23
Copyright ...
Drive D: = Driver LG unit 0
Drive E: = Driver LG unit 1

and the drives are activated.
When I tried the combination cdrom.sys+SHSUCDX and UIDE+MSCDEX, it didn't work as well.
I assume that the drivers from Mr. Ellis and MSCDEX think of HDD(SSD) as a CD-ROM drive.
Does somebody have a solution or any idea, how to fix the UIDE and SHSUCDX?
