If you are having these problems, you can solve them by explicitly specifying
where the CD-ROM host interfaces are located. For example, by default most

located at I/O port 0x230. If this is the case for your system, you could

There is a new TEAC 4X CD-ROM drive on the market that supposedly uses the

This is by no means a complete list as Creative Labs and other vendors
that produce sound cards with an identical Creative/Panasonic drive
interface release new versions of their adapters all the time.
It is important to understand that some manufacturers have a different
