Hi.
SB=SoundBlaster.
I had the CD on the IDE of an SB, as tertiary (1E8+). First NT4's
didn't support the CD here, so I had only CD through the lan. To my
surprise, NT4 SP3 supported CD on that IDE. But COM3 stopped working,
and I lost the modem: NT4 had found an incompatibility related to
port 3EE. So I changed IDE to quaternary, and had CD and modem.
None of this applies to you; I only wanted to point out
that SP3 has more solutions on IDE ports. I would suggest to check
IDE ports (on Control Panel SCSI, strangely), or inspect the boot
history (sorry, in spanish version, the "visor de sucesos").
