Hmmm... what exactly do you mean when you say 'the default settings'? I
have an Aztech CDA268-03I IDE and if you mean what to put in the config.sys
and autoexec.bat, this is what you need:

in config.sys:
device=c:\blah\blah\sgide268.sys /d:MSCD000

in autoexec.bat:
c:\blah\blah\mscdex /d:MSCD000

Though my driver is sgidecd.sys not sgide268.sys...

Hope that helps.

Yes that is what I meant. Those were the settings I tried but I got an
error message saying that it couldn't find the cd drive. I assume that
it requires other settings to be defined. I also tried the /L: switch to
tell it which drive letter to assign. Escom helpline isn't much help
either.

I think I've seen this on a friend's Escom - the configuration for the 
sound card (including the IDE settings for the CD) were supplied as a 
parameter to the sound card device driver loaded in config.sys IIRC - 
a switch followed by some hex chars, the format of which wasn't 
obvious - you need to (get hold of and) run the sound card setup disk.

(That was the conclusion I came to after trying to check the IRQ 
settings on it - the setup s/w wouldn't display the current parameters 
- only allow you to assign new ones...)

HTH,

Graham.
