Hi guys,
Maybe someone can shed some light?
I have a 1997, AMD K5 based PC runnig on what looks just like a "Amptron pm-8400" with 32mb ram and a 525MB IDE harddisk, running Windows 95(A?) I've got a SB16 card in there, 3.5",5.25", and inheirted some 3.5" TAPE Drive
...The PC also has now has a IDE/PATA CD-RW drive. (Hitachi-LG GCE-8483B IDE CD-ROM Drive) --> (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235827669890)
HOWEVER, I'm having all sorts of issues getting this drive to write a CD. It will however read CD's....
- CDRW Drive is on the 2nd IDE channel and is set to master.
- This PC did used to have a CDROM drive intalled (that died) so i've like for like swapped it out, not editted any of the old config files and turned it on and it works... so result.
- I'm currently using CDRWIN 3 (an old version, which even comes with it's own ASPI, lets you use the windows ASPI and has some 3rd option (FROGASPI?) all 3 of which fail to see the drive)
- I've run FORCEASPI 1.7, which installed the ASPI 4.60 drivers it comes bundled with and when i run the ASPI checker, it tell me the "ASPI layer is correct, but no host adapter can be found!"
Is there anything else i can do?
