Just wondering what to do with it. On the back of the unit, there's a familiar row of 2 x 20 pins = 40 pins, with 1 pin missing. It looks like an IDE connection, but it's labelled "I/O BUS". I think IDE appeared for 4x speed CD-ROMs - this one is 2x speed. Date of manufacture = August 1994.
I don't think Creative Soundblasters had a NEC CD-ROM connector. Also on the unit, there's no "master / slave" setting, just a curious looking 1 to 7 jumper pin block called "jumper block".
(Somehow I feel that if I tried it using a 40 pin IDE cable, connected to a CD-ROM controller, it just wouldn't work.)
Any comments please people? 😀
