Well, it's Win95 and it recognizes data CDs perfectly. It just has
problems with music CDs which is what I really want. What happens
is that the CDs reads the CD and reads and Win95 cannot play the music.
I really don't know what the problem might be.

So I need to use FreeBSD with this configuration (0x168, irq 10). The CD
drive is IDE but how cna I change the settings on FreeBSD kernel to
support an IDE controller in 0x168 at irq 10?

Thanks again
