So I'm trying to put the finishing touches on what will end up being my first "from scratch" 486, and one of the very last things I need to do is to get a CD drive installed and working. Since my mainboard doesn't have onboard IDE/floppy connectors, everything has to go through controller cards, and I have three IDE drives (one HDD, one CF, and the CD) but only two IDE connectors on my controller card, so I'm trying to connect the CD through the IDE connector on my sound card, a CT2940. However, neither the manufacturer provided driver for my CD drive nor SBIDE.SYS are detecting the drive.
Is there some weird procedure to use the IDE on a SB16? I know the problem isn't the drive or the cables, so it's either the card or something I've done (or not done)
