with IDE CD ROMs i believe you just install a standard HD controller and
manually configure for IRQ & I/O address, if not already installed by
win95.

good luck

If this is an IDE type drive then Win95 should detect it no problem.

A few things to check.

1.  If your computer has a PCI bus motherboard with dual IDE
controllers built it, make sure the CD-ROM is connected on the
secondary channel rather than via the soundcard IDE connector.

2.  Make sure that the DOS mode driver is being loaded in your Win95
config.sys (but you don't need MSCDEX in autoexec.bat)

3.  Start Win95 using F8 at the "Starting Windows 95..." message and
select "Step by step confirmation".  Respond Yes to every question and
watch what happens when it processes the CD-ROM driver in config.sys.

4.  If the CD-ROM driver loads successfully and Win95 still does not
recognize the drive, run the "Add new hardware" wizard.

One final question - is the NEC 273 a multi-disc changer like the 251?

Good luck.
