No, no and no. It went the same way with about 7 different CD's (after
cleaning) and 3 different cables. Anyway, this is all a little academic
now since I have just purchased a new TX motherboard along with a Cyrix
200 M2 and the motherboard has 2 IDE controllers on it instead of one.
Not that Windows will work now, mind you. It steadfastly refuses to
ignore the disabled IDE controller on the sound card and refuses to
ackowledge the CDROM. Sheesh, I think I'll stick to FreeBSD and NT!
Thanks anyway. :)
