Originally it was connected to the sound card via the Mitsumi port and everything worked before I reinstalled DOS. After fucking with it for the last few days I just yanked a cable from another computer I had and attached the CD to the motherboard. Now it works great with the new install of DOS. 🤣
Check me out at Transcendental Airwaves on Youtube! Fast-food sucks!
I imagined that this worked.
However the important thing is that you have solved.
Have fun.

Which demonstrates why MTMCDA*.SYS drivers would never have worked-- those are for a proprietary interface.
Not sure why the drive didn't work where originally connected, though.
Glad it's working, that's the main thing.
hello everyone and sorry if I reopen an old discussion.
I have a similar problem, PC Olivetti M290, IDE CD ROM connected on an Opti 82c931 (IDE PORT, not panasonic / mitsumi etcetc) ..
sound card drivers correctly installed, Port adress 168 / IRQ 10 CD-ROM.
Philips CD player 8x PCA82CR / M2.
Whichever device driver I put, I always get the cdrom not found message.
i tried Vide-cdd.sys, OAKCDROM.sys and others.
the first line of the sys config loads the CDSETUP.SYS driver which is used only to set the port and IRQ of the cd. The strange thing is that it sets the port "/ P: 36e, 168" and IRQ "I: a" (a probably stands for 10)
can you help me?

None at all? @King_Corduroy in the end what did you leave on config.sys and autoexec.bat?

Make sure VIDE-CDD.SYS looks for the drive on the right IRQ and port, so be sure you're setting the /P switch for that driver line correctly: /P:168,10 .
CDSETUP just activates the IDE port, VIDE-CDD.SYS then looks for a CDROM drive attached to the port you tell it to look.
https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/VIDE-CDD.SYS explains the switch, and what the output will look like.
D'oh: I just realized this is a massive threadsurrection 🙁
Sorry.
(I'd delete but it could still help the person after all)
Just to clarify here as i'm also having problems getting mine to work. Does the drive need to be a plain CD-ROM drive from the era? I am trying with a more modern DVD drive but it's still connected over IDE...

No, my CD1.SYS driver (Oak Technology Inc. v340) works with my DVD drive that has an IDE connection.
