I'm confused because I'm dealing with the same problem. The 4-disk system
seems to want SoundBlaster attachment for the CD-ROM, but my
SoundBlaster16 attaches CD-ROM drives as IDE CD-ROMs (and it doesn't
work). Could some (patient, tolerant) person explain to a non-PC person
like me what I need to hook up to get the CD-ROM loaded? I currently have
an NEC CD-ROM drive attached through a SoundBlaster 16 card's IDE CD-ROM
port.
Thanks
