    That is possible.. I do not have the card, nor have I seen
    it. Someone else has one and figures they can plug IDE hard
    disks into it. I doubted that it was an IDE interface to begin
    with, but... who's to argue with someone that KNOWS that it
    is. I figured I'd find out anyway before his HD's end up with
    blown buffers.

    No. It is an SB Live OEM card.

    So I'm assuming then that the SBLive 40 pin interface is NOT
    IDE? Is it then an older Mitsumi or Sony interface?

    Seems odd that a modern sound card would support ancient CDROM
    hardware... That is why I assumed that it might actually be real
    IDE.

    Any other info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I've overclocked my keyboard interface. It's quite messy dipping my
    hands into the mineral oil, but *MAN* is my keyboard ever fast now!
