Recently acquired a nice Toshiba Portege 3020CT. Installed NT4 from my CD using a boot disk with the PCMCIA drivers, installed fine. Downloaded video/audio drivers and installed them too. All is well, except the PCMCIA CD-ROM (a toshiba external drive) is not recognized under NT even though it was detected during the initial install and does spin up during the hardware/detect phase during boot before the GUI loads.

I have been through all the bulletins on Toshiba's website on the 3020CT, it is supported for NT4 (even displays the designed for logo on the front) and I have the lastest BIOS and all updated drivers (including their extended IDE driver).

What am I missing? The drive worked fine under Windows 98SE but I hate 98 and this little box doesn't have enough RAM to run Windows 2000 (at least with any speed).
