So, as you can see, you may have to "insert" and "swap" CD's for this to work, (at least if you are still reading your opening book from the CD). Second: You could eliminate Opening Book requirements for the CD by copying the book to your hard drive, (a somewhat large file), or the Talk CD material to the hard drive, etc. An alternative approach is to use multiple CD-ROM images, (1) for the Talk CD and another (1) for the Opening Book, or use a hard drive for one or the other. The last option is to use "jukebox" emulation S/W to provide simulatneous online CD-ROM images on separate CD-ROM drive letters. This aproach will require additional software, called: Virtual Drive 2, provided for on my chess site. Look at: Loiodice's Chess Collection - http://loiodice.com/chess/ about 1/2 way down on the 1st page, under Software. There is a (full function) (30) day trial version of VD2 for download. In addition, there is a link to the software owner for purchasing info.
