10971 2001-04-07 04:21:00 I have an old Acer 486. When I try to install a cdrom drive into it, the bios will not load anywhere past the memory test (im running acer v2.0 bios i think), until I disconnect the ide ribbon connector cord.

Thanks

what brand?model? cd-rom have you got? I'm guessing you have an early creative or similar cd-rom which requires a MKE/PANASONIC interface.
