Hi Larry,
I'm owner of Pavilion 8550 with the same crap as you. I also took off
that "board" with any unpleasant result.
The Rockwell is also a soundcard which is pretty uncompatible with
SoundBlaster, which was another reason to remove it and leave it waiting for
better days... So the CD-ROM connection is just for playing audio CDs. As far
as I remember, there is also a cable that goes to a TV cable (more or less). No
problem at all if you remove it. I connected a vulgar US Robotics to a COM
there and connected without trouble to the 'net.
Larry... Seizing this... If you ever find a page where appear the
motherboard models of each Pavilion, please tell me.
Best,
Ignasi
