| 301469 | 2004-12-09 20:59:00 | My friend has an interesting CD ROM drive which he needs help installing. It is a very old PC which used to run Windows 95. The CD ROM drive is an old quad-speed Creative drive, with FCC ID: IBACT-CD420IDE Although the number and labels on the drive appear to indicate that it's an IDE drive, it plugs into an old Vibra soundcard (what I thought was an MKE/Panasonic interface). We have tried multiple drivers, the oakcdrom.sys driver on bootup disks, as well as several "propriety" drivers for Creative CDROM Drives downloaded from driverguide.com, with no avail. I have just found another drive and am getting him to try it out now. I have tried searching google up and down with no luck (before anyone suggests this), and a search on the FCC database does not provide any useful links. At the moment the PC is running DOS, as he is trying to reinstall Win95 (which he only has a CD for). Does anyone have any ideas? |
