This helped enormously. Once I honed in on the 152X support being the same
as 1510 I finally got the CD-ROM connected. Yes, you're right -- the 1510 is
not a good card for connecting to hard disks -- I use it for SCSI
peripherals on IDE systems. It's relatively inexpensive, but works well for
CD-ROM, scanners, and streaming tapes. Win95 likes it too, so it's a good
card for dual-boot machines.
