Dear Paul,
I suspect you have one of the older CD-ROMs which had an
interface to a sound card. Many older sound cards had interfaces
specifically for various brands of CD-ROM. I remember one Sound
Blaster which had separate sets of pins for NEC, Sony, and
Creative CD-ROM interfaces.
You'll need either a sound card which can interface to your Sony
CD-ROM drive, or one of the (rare!) interface cards which were
sometimes available. These interface cards were usually a simple
card which plugged into the ISA bus.
Probably, though, you'll need to give up on this one, and look
around for an IDE-interface CD-ROM drive.
Hope this helps,
Anthony J. Albert
