Hello. I have recently acquired an old IBM PS/1 Consultant for the purpose of being able to play my old dos-based games. My problem is this. When I acquired the machine, it had some business softare on it that I was having a difficult time removing. So i decided (stupidly) to reformat the hard drive. Now as a result the drivers for the sound card that was in there as well as the drivers for the scsi cdrom that were in there are now gone. I have searched the net for the appropriate drivers, and although i have found a driver for the soundcard, i cannot find a driver for the cdrom that was in there. So i decided to put in a standard IDE drive and see if maybe it would recognize it. When i boot off of my win98 boot disk (using the cdrom support option) it says that no drives are detected. I was wondering if maybe anyone had some way to get around this. or if anybody could point me in the direction of a driver for a Sanyo SCSI cdrom drive model CDR-H94SMV that would be really cool. thanks in advance for any help offered.

Did you Google for it?

CDR-H94SMV at Driverguide

I don't beleive you can run an IDE CD in a 386 on the HDD cable, you'd need an interface card such as an old soundcard combo or your SCSI

Resist the temptation to close your request for help with semantically-null questions like “Can anyone help me?”

Have you installed DR-DOS 7.xx or PC-dos 7 or MS-DOS 6.22 or FreeDOS or PTS-DOS yet ??

They all install from Floppy which is the norm, as PC's this vintage do not have bootable CD drives.

Apart from the SCSI CD Drivers, you may also need the SCSI Controller Chip Drivers.

Sound Cards will quite often work without drivers using the SET BLASTER=....... Statement in autoexec.bat
