Hi sorry for the delay - had trouble getting back onto the forum.

I've advised people that the AR2/1.7 & 1.9 bnackup will boot behind AR2/1.x with the dongle in. I know that works but not with all old versions.

The difficulty that I haven't tested is the holding down of reset from the first boot of AR2/1.6 through to the point when you release it for the published DVD-R boot method (after using the swapped in AR2/1.9). If that works then DVD-Rs will boot.

If not, then dump the Neo2.5 for the Origachip which does everything. DVD-Rs are a one step boot with DVD Region X, AR2 (any) or Memory Manager 16 plus it boots import originals.
