Well, it should. If you're talking plain windows (not Win95), look in your config.sys. You'll see a device driver for the CD there, with command line switches specifying the I/O ports and IRQ line. Change those to reflect the new drive's position and it should work. I think that SBs used to come with a utility that changed that for you if you told it what controller you're using, but I might be mistaken on this. > > My CDROM is a CD-581 Matsushita, sold with the Creative Labs > Sound Blaster 16. > > Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. > Jorge Nadav
