looking at my sony cdu33a-01 ... it does indeed have a somewhat different cable! that's because it runs on a "sort of " scsi interface. The sound cards it interfaces with have NOT the newer IDE but a single line scsi with special drivers. Mine interfaces to the (Media Vision) Pro Audio Spec

Michael, Been a "real long time", If you hang the CD off of the sound card, you *should* be able to hand the kernel an append statement at the boot prompt. append="cdu31a=0x1f88,0" I don't have my old Sony hardware anymore "or the old lilo.conf", but look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/cdrom/cd

Michael, Is this an IDE CD-ROM? Is the board you refer to that discussed in the clip from the sony support site that follows? I am a newbie, but it this is not an IDE compatible CD-ROM I don't have any idea where to look. Sorry, hope this helps you identify the interface board. Copied from

Yes, try the sound card. That's where my CDU31A used to connect. Also, if I understand correctly, you have a sound card *AND* a CDROM controller card. My guess is that (due to resource conflicts) you'll have to remove either the the small, CDROM controller card or the sound card to make the CDR

I have a friend who has this ancient system onto which I'd like to install RHL6.1. The HDDs should be easy, the modem seems to be a standard internal (no markings on it, so I'm hopin'...), and the sounds card is a Creative Labs Sound Blaster. All that should go fine. The CD-ROM drive is a Sony
