Can't Get My CD-Rom to work

Do you need a sound card to get the CD-Rom to connect? I am trying to install a matsus---a-kotobuki cr-563-b CD-Rom on to my computer. I connected the CD-Rom and turned on the computer, all I got was a black screen with the blinking cursor. It wouldn't do anything. Not sure if I connected it right. Can someone Help?

A blank screen?, hmmm... check the cable connection, invert the (IDE?) plug.

a-kotobuki CR-563-B CD-ROM is a generic drive and not IDE at all. As Dan says it needs a matching soundcard with CD connector to work. It will be a 4 speed drive at best!
