I am trying to Get a SoundBlaster 16 CT2830 with a Creative CD4000M disk drive
trying to figure out what i need to do do get this configured so that i can use the CD in DOS and Windows 3.1 to install a few games (and not have to copy everything to floppies) really just want to Install a Monopoly game, Doom, and SimCity 2000
Here is from troubleshooting I have done in a Facebook group with another individual,
The CD-ROM is a Creative CD4000M (Re-badged Mitsumi FX400) the Sound Blaster 16 (CT2830)is is jumpered to Tertiary (1E8) and IRQ 11, the computer This is in a Gateway2000 4DX-33V with onboard IDE
I have the most recent version of the Mitsumi Driver and are using the /P parameter to specify the IDE Address and IRQ.
getting an "Unable to detect ATAPI CD-ROM" Error from the Mitsumi driver, all other drivers also fail to detect a CD
I assisted this user on Facebook and was able to confirm jumper settings and IDE Ribbon orientation as correct.
I wanted to ask: Did you use the included set-up program from the Driver zip? Did you use the Dell or the archive.org drivers?
Also, please post a pic of your AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. I guarantee that it will be the first thing requested otherwise.

I used a setup program I found elsewhere to install mscdex, I used the Dell drivers for the drive
attached most recent config.sys and autoexec.bat
Why so many different cdrom drivers being loaded at once?
Trying out multiple drivers to see if any of them detect the drive
Well I got 2 drives that are detected
changed the settings on the card to quaternary and the config in config.sys to /P:168,11,3EE using gscdrom.sys
CDS-2420
Lite-ON LTN382
however neither DOS or Windows can read disks
