#CD-ROM Adapter Card

I purchased a BSR CD ROM drive from DAK Industries along with a bundle of software thinking it was compatible with an IBM PS/2 55SX. When I tried to install the adapter card I found out I had a problem. The drive is apparently made by Sony (CDU-6201) and the adapter card also (CDB-240 Series). Do I have any option other than returning this to DAK? I only have a couple of days before I have to return this to DAK. As you can see, I'm not very knowledgeable about CD-ROM or what kind of computer I have!

Larry, You need a Micro Channel board for your machine. Contact DAK to see if they have one. Someone from DAK is on this forum. Frank

If you succeed in getting help with this problem, I'd appreciate your letting me know. I too have an IBM 55 SX that requires a MicroChannel card. – Dom –

YOU NEED A MICROCHANNEL CARD FOR YOUR PS/2 55 SX. THE CARD YOU HAVE IS FOR THE STANDARD AT BUS. I WOULD RETURN THE KIT AND ORDER ONE THAT IS COMPATIBLE FOR MICROCHANNEL.
