I picked up a sweet all original IBM PS/1 that I have been playing with, as you might have read from my other posts. I wiped the hard drive and have installed Dos 6.22 and Win 3.11 WFW on it. The problem is after wiping it the cdrom, which uses an cable to the sound card, doesn't work anymore. For installing I just threw in an IDE cdrom and the oakcdrom.sys.
It has these two components:
Aria 16 Soundcard
Matsushita CR-563-B cdrom
The first thing I did was installed the Aria 16 dos and win 3.11 drivers. The soundcard works great in both dos and windows now.
The next thing I did was I took the CDROMDOS.SYS off the IBM PS/1 recovery cd and I placed it in C:\DOS.
I added the following to my autoexec.bat (it was there before I formatted):
MSCDEV /D:MSCD001 /M:15 /V /L:E (this is the same line I also used with my DVD rom)
I added the following to my config.sys (also was there before the format)
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\CDROMDOS.SYS /D:MSCD001 /S:D /P:310
When I boot into dos it fails when trying to load the cdrom driver:

Device driver name = MSCD0001:
Supporting the following units:
Interface board or cd-rom drive is not ready
Insure that the drive power is on and drive cables are correctly attached.
What could I be missing to get this cdrom going again?
- The sound card is working
- The cdrom opens and closes (has power)
