Don't CD drives need the port to be a certain type? With the latest BIOS I see a dialogue for changing the "type" of port to ECP, EPP, and such. This may work, though to me, the BIOS settings in the latest upgrade seem "slippery." I've tried to change the IRQ for the sound card, but it never stays at the IRQ, it always goes to the default again. BTW, did you know that all the settings in the BIOS go to default if you hold down the mouse keys during boot-up?
