Hi.
Hope I’m posting in the right section.

Have just resurrected my old Iqon P.C formatted and re-installed X.P had a lot of trouble FINDING the right drivers for it as Iqon have gone out of business.

Anyway it’s all working except I have an IRQ conflict between the primary IDE and the ATAPI sharing channel 14.

I tried manually setting the channels but they are both greyed out so cannot access the change settings tab.

Would this conflict also stop the DVD drive from OPENING it just makes a clonk sound when I push the eject button?

Any ideas or thought welcome.

Have you tried to use another DVD drive to test?

Hi.
I have discovered that the DVD drive still works, if I use a paper clip in the manual eject hole I GET a whirring sound then it ejects, and it reads C.Ds O.K.

I have reformatted and that has cleared the IRQ conflict, I’M guessing that was because I installed the wrong drivers.

Still having no luck with the drivers, tried the various sites, and EVEN using the hardware I.D there seems to be lots of different drivers for the same thing.

DLoad and install Everest Home....Free.
It may assist in tracking down some of those wayward drivers....
MBoard chipset drivers should GO 1st...
