I have the CDROM in my machine as the slave device on my first IDE controller because I couldn't get it to work as the master on the second controller. I do remember having to make the wcd0c device again before it would work for me though. i.e. cd /dev sh MAKEDEV wcd0 after that it all worked. cheers, Carey On Wed, 19 Jun 1996, Haytham Algyndy wrote: > Hi > > I'm a bit confused about configuring the CDROM. > The CDROM that I'm using is a Creative-Labs CD, > (It is detected by win95 as a Goldstar GCD-R542B) > Quad speed and is connected alone to the secondary IDE > port.
