I'm struggling with an old CD ROM that plugs into a sound card for the interface rather than through the IDE. When I loaded Win95 on this machine, I temporarily attached a modern CD ROM to help speed the install, it was as one would expect, attached to the IDE controller on the motherboard. The problem is that now that I have detached the new CD ROM and reattached the old one to its sound card, Windows fails to find it. Add and Remove new hardware doesn't find it either. Can someone tell me how to resolve this. The unit does work. It is a Creative CD ROM and plugs into a card from the same makers with model number CT2260. I downloaded drivers for the sound card okay, but am lost as to what to do with the cd ROM. For those interested the Config.sys has "Device = C:\WINDOWS\Himem" and Autoexec.bat has " rem - by Windows Setup - C:WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /V". I take it that Windows remarked the Autoexec entry because it failed to see the device, once the newer CD ROM drive was removed.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Regards Roger.
