When a cd is plugged into the sound card the order that the drivers load is important. You have to load the sound card drivers BEFORE the cdrom drivers. The sound card has to be initialized on the DOS level before the cdrom will work
This is like plugging a lamp into a power strip, not turning the power strip on & expecting the lamp to work
Hope that helps

Hey PC,
Thanks,
I originally did not have the sound card files in my Config.sys (but the sound card worked in DOS!)
Anyway, with the sound card loading first in the config.sys then the driver file, I still get the same error message as shown above....
The CD Drivers came with 2 programs...Install.exe and Setup.exe...Setup.exe is for Win95 and run in DOS it boots me up into Windows. Install.exe which is for DOS, tells me that I have Windows95 on the machine and to use setup.exe...even though I am booting in pure DOS [F8 etc.].
Any more ideas?
Dave

What sound card is this beast plugged into?
Are you sure you have the right drivers?
The ones I got from creative had only sbcd.sys file_id & the licence agreement.
How about posting your config.sys & autoexec.bat files?
You could always do a Frankin fix. Drop 40 bucks for a 48x & call it done.

Hi David!
Just so happens I inherited a 486 Tandy with a 2X SB CD. It is pluged into its own interface card. I haven't experimented with it yet.
The book shows config.sys=
c:\sbcd\sbcd.sys /d:dev-name /p:xxx [/s:] [/a] [/x:1]
where:
/p: is 250 (default) or 260
/n: is the number of CD drives installed
[/s: is the mode A is auto, D is 2X speed and N is Normal (1X only??)
/a delivers monaural to both channels
[x:1] prevents error is eject command is not available.
I believe the p:xxx is the only one required.
I will probably experiment with my SB16 card to see if I can make that work.

Dug around and found the bootup files for an old Sound Blaster setup. Here are the relevant lines:
config.sys
device=c:\sbpro\drv\sbpcd.sys /d:mscd001 /p:220
autoexec.bat
set sound=c:\sbpro
set blaster=a220 i7 d1 t2
c:\dos\mscdex.exe /v /d:mscd001 /m:15

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the syntax,
Last night I loaded the DOS only drivers and it almost started. It showed the card was set at 220 and the CD at 230. I will have time to play with it this evening, and I will post up for you all my autoexec and config files for your perusal.
Have a nice day
Dave
P.C. It is a Soundblaster CT1759.
CD Is a CR 563-B.
