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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, Tel: +1 617 598 4480, Fax: +1 617 598 4430 Net: witr@rwwa.COM R.W.
