Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to ask you whether an ANTAPI (?) CD-ROM will work on the IDE
controller of a 486.
The details are :-
CD Creative CR-563-B 40 pin plug, 3 jumpers
CPU Micronics Gemini mother board both with
IDE on video card and on mother board.
As far as I know the CD-ROM is configured for slave operation (no jumpers).
Whenever the CD is plugged into the HDD ribbon the PC will not boot (the
HDD motor does not start).
My employer deploys these CDs by plugging them into Sound Blaster cards.
Thank you,
S Hopcroft
