NT4+SP3+M581A = ATAPI CDROM not recognized

[Chris Mauritz]

I've been fighting with this for a couple of days and haven't
had any luck. The system:

M 581A
64mb Micron SDRAM
AMD K6-233
Buslogic 948 SCSI card
Seagate barracuda 4gig hard drive
Number Nine 334 4mb AGP video card
Netgear 10/100 ethernet card (running at 100bTX)
Memorex CD-322E 32X udma ATAPI cdrom

No matter what I do, the system will not recognize the
CDROM. Otherwise, it's working great. I've flashed to
581005 bios and loaded the latest SIS IDE driver from M-tech's
website. I do notice that when I look under the SCSI adapters
in the control panel that the SIS miniport driver isn't starting.
It's listed, but not started. The Buslogic driver is working
just fine.

I've got a SCSI cd-rom, but I need that occasionally for my
sparc LX so I'd prefer to get the IDE device working.

Anyone seen this symptom before?

Regards,

C

Grrrrrrrr.....nevermind. It was a bad IDE cable. M-tech gets
a virtual peepee slap for that. It works just fine now.

If the sis drivers are not starting then it probably wont find that
device...
