Seems we both knew. ;-)
Normally the cdrom driver sees both drives.
So the /D:name is for both drives. If you repeat /D: you get both 
drives doubled. (4 drive characters=nonsens)
The PTSATAPI.SYS (PTSDOS) only loads for one drive. 
You have to repeat with correct port and irq to load 
for another cdrom drive. 
Then you have a second name to tell the redirector. 
And here you can reverse the order. But that confused all programs.

All the best,
Utz
