it should be DEVICE=C:\SBCD\DRV\SBIDE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:1E8,11
then in autoexec.bat  <PATH>MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:<buffers>

The default IDE setting of the SoundBlaster card is the tertiary mode
the above settings will work if the card is jumpered to its default
settings.  Check that the card is jumpered that way....  jumper IDE101
enabled, IDE100 disabled, IDE IRQ at 11
Some are set for the quaternary IDE port .....in that case the /P:
statement  should be /P:168,10

check your manuals if you are unsure...
Hope this helps
