>> do I need to set jumpers on the scsi card as well? According to the documentation, if you're running MS-DOS, no IRQs are used. So the IRQ jumpers (W6 & W7) won't matter. There only used with Unix & Netware. The defaults all worked for me. If another device is using memory space CA00h, you will have to change the address jumpers W1, W2, & W3. >> What does that tiny cable that goes from the cd to the sound card do? This is probably an audio cable to pass sound from the CD-ROM to the SB. Is it connected from the back upper left of the Talon CD-ROM drive? If so, where did your brother get it. I need one. Maybe it shipped with the drive but I didn't get one. >> I will check the alignment of the red dots on the cable to make sure it's plugged in correctly. This is critical. If the colored edge of the SCSI cable is not aligned to the number 1 on the SCSI board and on the back of the CD-ROM drive, the drive won't work. Jim
