Offhand I don't think it can be done. I just received a Sound Galaxy NX 16
Pro and their manual shows the CDROM connector diagram for both drives.
The Mitsumi has 16 active lines and 20 ground lines and 4 no connection
while the Panasonic has 19 active lines and 21 ground lines. I was hoping
I could make an adapter cable to connect a Mitsumi to a Sound Blaster Pro
but I guess not.
Don,
Thanks for the information. I misunderstood your message about the Mitsumi and
card. I realize now you were talking about interfacing the audio from the
Mitsumi drive to the sound card. I looked at the pin out of the Panasonic
interface ofn the sound card and the interface pin out from the Mitsumi and
they appear incompatible. Thanks again for your help.

I was talking about connecting the cdrom itself to the SBPro to eliminate
the Mitsumi interface. The Mitsumi audio connector will plug directly
into the SBPro board however the wires on the audio connector should be
reversed for each audio channel.
Donald,
PMFJI, I purchased a SG NX 16 too to interface with my Mitsumi. This completely
trashed my Windows settings on Install. In fact it only half loaded Disks
#1/#2. After this my Windows kept falling over with not enough file handles.
Win/s just about started, but was extremely flaky! The interface to the Mitsumi
just hung my machine before the POST set up!
I returned the card, after many phone calls and jumper/card/irq changes, to the
supplier, with my PC. They tried to install on their machine but the same thing
happened with fresh software! IMHO this card just does not WORK. I hope it
works for you. They refunded me the difference on a SB PRO. Whilst I cannot
interface with the Mitsumi, the original intention, at least SB cards always
work.
Good luck, Howard.
