IT was supplied as a direct replacement for the >1993 CR-563-B. When installing the software, make sure you select 'soundblaster pro', with a port address of 220 (if yours is set to the default). If it's the default software, you *should* have a line in your CONFIG.SYS like so :- DEVICE=C:\PANA\CDMKE.SYS /SBP:220 not DEVICE=C:\PANA\CDMKE.SYS /P:300 - if it is as directly above, then it is not expecting to find the drive on the end of your sound card - change it to the first method listed, and you might find it will solve the problem. Any more problems, mail me direct ....
