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.
