Unhappy windows 3.1

me again
ok so i am working on win3.1 (actually 3.11 workgroups for windows) as i stated in previous thread and have dos and windows back on the pc but i still cannot get it to recognize the cd-rom ..it does not show up as a drive ..tried the website for it(mitsumi brand) and d\l the drivers, but they said in the readme files that it was not for 3.11 or a drive with dblspace on it (which i ran after installing dos , but before i d\l the drivers ) oops, now which direction should i head first ,,just more reading to learn more about pc and how they work or ???? any suggestions would be helpful i can edit the autoexec.bat and the config.sys because for some reason the driver instal put a (rem) before the proper lines in these files which i know tells the comp. to ignore that line ......here is what i have done so far .....fdisk the pc ..install dos ..install win3.11...... install drivers...what next?

Please keep issues tied to one thread... it gets confusing when it's spread around.

Is this drive connected to a sound card or directly to the motherboard?
