   Hello again,
   Y'know, I got all excited because I finally thought  I could answer
a question... Oh boy!
    Well, I think you are telling me that you have a burned CD-rom
that isn't recognized, so you want to be able to get this CD program
to run on your yaroze with these two additional files. 
    I am sure more advanced members would understand this better than
me.   <DELETED INFO>  Y'know, I had a large paragraph here speculating
on ways you might try to get this CD to work, but I became very
uncomfortable giving advice on using the yaroze in a fashion
inconsistent with our license. You can't boot the yaroze and be able
to use siocons without the boot disc in the unit, which means you
can't utilize your friend's CD in conjuncture with these two files, at
least not in any kosher fashion I can envision.  I am just not going
there...
   The yaroze functions exactly as a commercial Grey Playstation
without the boot disc. If this CD doesn't work, your friend goofed,
 your unit has a problem (very unlikely), or this particular CD is
damaged. The only advice I can give in good conscience is to get
another CD  from him, unless the program is smalll enough that you
could copy it off the CD to your PC, rebuild it, and then run it like
any other demo.  Perhaps someone else has a  better conception of what
is happening. If I could see the file structure on the CD, and if I
knew what  the .cpe and  .exe files were for, perhaps I would not be
at such a loss. It would not matter though, because the bottom line is
that you would have to use the yaroze in an unkosher manner to be able
to use siocons and your friend's CD at the same time. 
   My advice:  Get a new CD, and ask him to test it before he sends
it.
   Cheers,
   Matt
