Not that one, but something similar.  I install EIDE CD-ROMs as Master
on hte motherboard's 2nd EIDE, not the non-standard Creative
"tertiary" on the sound card.  Win95 insisted on editing the SBIDE.SYS
(or whatever) line in Config.sys so that it used the 1E8h port address
and IRQ whatever for the Creative EIDE port.

Fix was to rename SBIDE.SYS (and thus, Config.sys references to it) as
SBIDE_.SYS so Win95's PnP couldn't recognise it and mess it up.
