Can someone help where Microsoft can't?!

I've got a laptop running 95, a PCMCIA SCSI card and an external Plextor
CD-ROM drive.  The CD drive is recognised in 95 and appears as an icon in
explorer/my computer etc. but I cannon actually access the darn thing.  The
CD drive functions correctly attached to a desktop machine and the SCSI
card is okay when connected to an EZ-Drive/ZIP drive.  Therefore I can only
guess that there is some small file missing from the Win 95 system.

Any ideas gratefully received!!!

Thanks in advance.
