Re: CD-ROM compatibility
Creative used several models of CD-ROMs with Sound Blaster cards. Some
used a proprietary interface, while others used an IDE interface (the
cards had both). I believe different modules are required for the
different varieties, but I would first try 'insmod sb'.

I tried some mount commands that I found within the Debian GNU/Linux book via an alternate console. My question is, is my cd-rom a supported device, if it is, what should the mount command look like? Where do I find out what devices are supported, where can I get device drivers?
