If this is true, I don't understand how the SNAP floppy finds
the CDROM on one system of mine and not another, given that they
both have the CDROM on the secondary controller.
To recap:
The SNAP floppy fails to probe the Toshiba CDROM on a pentium
system, and succeeds probing a Sony CDROM on a 486. Seems
like it could be the CDROM, the bios, timing, or anything.
