Hi Jean,
You should not use the SONY/Panasonic/Mitsumi drivers included with win95
for your Cyberdrive, as a matter of fact you shouldn't have to use any
drivers, as win95/98 does this automatically. The Drivers you mentioned are
for proprietary Drives that used their own I/O card. I've used the
Cyberdrive before, and you should be able to use it in PIO Mode 4. The
problem with the exclamation point should disappear after you remove the
Sony/panasonic/Mitsumi driver.

Hope this helps you out,
