    it's not supprising, since Windows NT 3.1 was past its prime well before IDE cdroms came to the market.

    You might want to forrage around on old winnt cdroms, or try the ones from 3.51?

    Couldn't a dos driver be loaded for cd rom drives? I was able to access mine when I installed NT3.1 on my 486 like without having to do anything.

    but can you access it after NT 3.1 is loaded?

    no dos drivers only work for dos not for nt ive tried and the nt 3.51 cd-rom drivers don't work windows nt 3.1

    yea that was a problem since no real drivers were out for the NT system at that time, DOS based os's were in the limelight. There SHOULD be a couple of IDE Cd drives out there, if i remeber it was a samsung one, it should work with any cd drive.

    Maybe this will work
    I'm not posting any more links, just go to the CD ROM manufacturers download pages, they all have some kind of support if you select their oldest drives.
