    Help with IBM PS/1 CDRom + ISA Aria 16 Soundcard?

    I picked up a sweet all original IBM PS/1 that I have been playing with. I wiped the hard drive and have installed Dos 6.22 and Win 3.11 WFW on it. The problem is after wiping it the cdrom, which uses an cable to the sound card doesn't work. For installing I just threw in an IDE cdrom and the oakcdrom.sys.

    My goal is to get the original components working again. I am not trying to pimp it out and leave a DVD burner in there.

    It has these two components:
    Aria 16 Soundcard
    Matsu****a CR-563-B cdrom

    The first thing I did was installed the Aria 16 dos and win 3.11 drivers. The soundcard works great in both dos and windows now.

    The next thing I did was I took the CDROMDOS.SYS off the IBM PS/1 recovery cd and I placed it in C:\DOS.

    I added the following to my autoexec.bat (it was there before I formatted):
    MSCDEV /D:MSCD001 /M:15 /V /L:E (this is the same line I also used with my DVD rom)

    I added the following to my config.sys (also was there before the format)
    DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\CDROMDOS.SYS /D:MSCD001 /S /P:310

    When I boot into dos it fails when trying to load the cdrom driver:
    Copyright (C) Matshu****a-Kotobuki Electronics
    Device driver name = MSCD0001:
    Supporting the following units:
    Interface board or cd-rom drive is not ready
    Insure that the drive power is on and drive cables are correctly attached.

    What could I be missing to get this cdrom going again?
    - The sound card is working
    - The cdrom opens and closes (has power)

    Thanks!
