Whoops - the FX-001D is proprietary, it's not IDE. Find another drive, that's only a 2X anyway. You would need either a controller card or a sound card with proprietary CD-Rom interfaces on it - and some more drivers and config.sys entries. Sorry about that, I was thinking the FX400, that's Mitsumi's first IDE drive, it's a 4x.

If you don't want to permanently install an IDE drive in it, you can remove the IDE drive when Win98 is finished installing and put the old beast back in WITH a controller card or proper sound card, and Windows will have the drivers you need to make it work.
