- I don't have a CD Rom drive yet, but I will be getting one soon, and I have
- asked many questions about what is required. First of all, which OS is he
- using. Does he have a CD Rom driver? Another thing I read is that somebody
- posted a message that a CD Rom will only work if it's set as unit 4 or 5, and
- that any other devices at that number would have to be reset to another ID.
- As I said, I'm not sure of the above, but I thought I'd pass it along. Hope it
- helps.....please let me know if it does.
