If I recall correctly, most motherboards of that vintage didn't
include IDE on-board, and so required tha addition of a controller or
multi-I/O card to add this functionality. That *might* be part of
your problem....
Or it could be that your "spare part" CD-ROM drive, of similar age,
is of one of the several non-IDE interface types that were originally
common.
