    3150 and all earlier versions are unable to enable both of the internal Pioneer DVD-R 111D drives in my Mac Pro. The VM setup menu shows 2 possible CD/DVD-ROM drives. Both show a choice of either of the Pioneer drives, but regardless of which one I select, only the first one ends up checked after the settings are "OK'd" and re-opened. CD/DVD-ROM 1 has a default IDE setting of 0:1 and drive 2, 1:1. Regardless of which drive I enable, which Pioneer drive I choose or which IDE setting I select, I end up with the first Pioneer drive (physically on top) active. If I attempt to enable both drives, I get "Unable to open device/file PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111D" message at the beginning of startup and it later crashes with the blue screen message:
    BAD_POOL_HEADER
    *** STOP: 0x000000019 (0x00000020,0x86D58A48,0x86D58A70,0x0A050001

    Since the VM setup shows 2 possible CD/DVD drives, I assume that I should have the choice of either or both. I can't find anything about physical optical drive selection in the help file or in the Parallels forum.
