Having at last managed to enter Setup (Thanks, Mike T), I don't think
so.  The CD would be an HDD?  No HDDs enabled - the HDD is SCSI, which I
now know installs after BIOS.  So, I enable the second HDD as the CD?
Is it that simple?

Certainly IDE - says so, on the back.  About 4 - 5 years old, I imagine.

On the previous machine, it was a slave, on the same cable as (and
after) the IDE HDD.  Now jumpered to Master.
