I still do! AND it’s connected and working (not compatible with any O/S though)I recently got a new one. It’s not in my computer, though. It’s this cute little chi-fi thingy that I connected to my speaker with optical wire.
I have a collection of CDs so I figured I might just as well listen to them. Been buying some new ones too.
I see that’s Windows NT 3.1, but now I’m curious, did they have a Windows 3.11 version of the M$ CD Player app?
I loosely recall Win3.11 CD playback requiring DOS drivers and somewhat proprietary Windows software provided by the sound card manufacturer…
A driver and loading mscdex in dos yes, proprietary Windows software no, at least for a standard IDE/ATAPI cd rom drive. CD data would work as long as the dos driver was installed right, and for cd audio, Windows 3.1x has a driver that comes with it called “[MCI] CD Audio” that will need to be installed in Control Panel -> Drivers. :-)
