This would be my preference, too. However, the cable that is on the CD-ROM
drive has a different end for the interface card than the one needed by the
sound card. Not a big deal, I first thought, but with a ribbon cable, both
end connectors are the same. That means that the connector for on the drive
must be different than the connector on the card...
I'm not enough of a PC-guts-guy to know what the implications of this are...

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
