Those kinds of drives are a nightmare to work with. last time i installed on a 486, i grabbed the I/O address of the cdrom controller from win* and passed it along to the kernel module..worked fine after that. if you dont have win* maybe you could install *dos and install the dos drivers for that cdrom and grab the i/o address from it, usually drivers show the i/o and irq settings when they load. jbp534 >Kind Soul -- E-mail or landline .
