Maybe the Win95 driver did something to the card/CD player to > make it work fine, but it was required for my So y CD650. Perhaps it has a soft-settable CIS, and has to be initialised first?

Some vendors may decide to wait until the user gets the card before actually writing this information. Just a guess... mike
