I've just upgraded to a SB16 (Vibra 16?) and I am having the same
problem.  The same CD-drive played on my older card which had the old
style (non-IDE) CD-ROM interface; but in the new PC, it doesn't work.  I
have disabled the on-board IDE slot and used the motherboard's secondary
master slot, which may be the cause.

I will try ressurecting the SB16 IDE i/f as the tertiary IDE, and see if
that works.  I'll post here if so...

Anybody else got any ideas in the meantime?
