now - all I get is a message saying " not
accessible; device not ready".

CDROM Audio Cable by
Travis Swift
When I conenct the audio cable from my CD-ROM to my sound
card (ISA PnP) Win98SE won't detect my soundcard. I unplug
the audio cable, Win98SE and my BIOS detect it fine.
The cable is fitted in the right way; it has plastic
guiding stuff on both the CD-ROM and the soundcard.
