A few adds:

a) the CD-ROM should be unit 1 as the HD should be 0.

b) don't edit the PCO-file !! The device and unit are
controlled by tooltypes. To change those click once on it's
icon and select "information" in the icon-menu.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

The PC0-file can be found either in
Devs/Dosdrivser or in storage/dosdrivers of your
Workbench-partition (DH0).

It must end up in devs/dosdrivers to be automaticly used
on boot-up.

To bve honest I never used atapi.device, but unit 1 for the
slave sounds like the most logic option, as it allways could be
that someones has only a CD but no HD connected to the IDE-port.
