Subject: Re: Installing CR-563-B

The CR-563B is not a standard IDE CD-ROM. It uses a proprietary interface and its flat ribbon cable connects to a Sound Blaster 16 sound card.

To use this drive in DOS, you need to install the drivers for the sound card (which creates the needed port) and for the CD-ROM.

The sound card may not be a SoundBlaster 16, but a compatible, so you'll need to open the case and check the card or the chips on the motherboard, if it's embedded. Then go to www.driverguide.com to download DOS drivers and installation software.

Good luck!
