Okay, I've sorted the BadPhys thing, I discovered I had the CDFaker module
in PreDesk... Having removed it, that message has now gone, to be replaced
with the old message that originally caused me to give up trying Acorn CD
in VRPC.

"Soft-Load Driver not present"  Whatever that means.

I've googled a bit for "RISC OS Soft-Load Driver not present" but anything
flagged up doesn't seem to change anything.
