Why would it? I mean I only have 2 supported cdroms... Why should it even bother to detect one of then? Oh BTW I'm rambling on about 2.1-RELEASE. I have a Sony ATAPI cdrom and an old Sound blaster cdrom, both of which I tried the appropriate boot floppy for. The auto-probe actually touched (Oh my god!!) my Sound Blaster cdrom, but when I went rejoicing to the options menu and tried to select CDROM, it said "No CDROM device has been detected! ..." Am I missing something? Did it not touch my Sound blaster cdrom and cause the access light to go on and the cd to spin?? Hrmmm. Just incase you need some help: I have a 486 with 2 IDE hard drives on one controller, another IDE controller with the drive controller disabled in order to use cua2 and 3 (com3 and 4) and a third ATAPI controller at 170H (I think thats what I put it at) My Sound Blaster is at 220H IRQ 5 DMA 1... My ATAPI drive works wonderful under linux, and I have used my Sound Blaster Cdrom in both linux and dos, but before I got the second IDE controller for cua2&3 ---- If your reply bounces, try mikepery@mcs.com. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.2i mQCNAzB3NkkAAAEEALmLPNi8eMno12K55RT5yMuD5G1EQ9vSzEz+gs594m5GtMZc HKLvG+Wf4QgCuo0pinyxitbC8DHjd8b4gx4CSZPROt4RCe8m6XVJa/fiM3HhgJ/2 BB584txR4lfU4bZRSFSAWWQ8LS+1z1jsQ9IJ5WYgfJyGhLKIKOQsEjYNuO0JAAUR tCZNaWtlIFBlcnJ5IDxyb290QG1pa2VwZXJyeS5wci5tY3MubmV0Pg== =B9oB -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
