So little information seems to exist about this particular Creative Labs CD-200 that I figured I’d better document the struggle. At this point I had a desktop absolutely covered in driver files and still hadn’t found the magic combination. The first video shows where the investigation had reached.

And the search continues…

I did eventually get the beast working. The driver I needed was Creative’s CCD.SYS; Creative’s driver README also refers to CRCCD.SYS. MSCDEX then provides the DOS drive letter once the hardware driver has loaded. I documented the exact CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT setup in the follow-up post.

Once I get this beast working, we’ll have a BBQ party, I said.

Looks like I owe everyone a BBQ.
