Hey all,
Behold her glory (pic).
I got this shiny case for my existing Windows 98 PC a few weeks back. It came with the floppy drive and optical drives included.
The floppy drive and DVD drive work fine, but the top one - which is a ZIP CD, unusual apparently - doesn't seem to work.
I have watched it during booting, and lights come on indicating it's reading, and the drive opens no trouble at all.
But putting a disc in causes the OS to get slow for a few minutes, the tray clunks and whirs quietly as if trying to read, but it only ever says 'drive not ready' when I try to open it.
I guess it's likely to be a bad laser, but on the off-chance, does it need special drivers to work properly?
