Its been my experience you find nothing in the BOIS on Compaqs about the CDROM.
Its auto-configure. But if I remember correctly some of these older 486
Compaqs were somewhat challenging to get CDROMS to work in, as they need a
model specific CDROM driver match to a particular Compaq CDROM. For your sake
I hope I remember wrong. It may be that if you can get an OS installed without
the CDROM that, once installed, the OS will see it an access it....

The CDROM must be in master/slave or nothing ?

Compaq normally uses Cable Select, so both would normally be jumpered CS. But
if you replace the data cable with a newer one, its likely a standard IDE data
cable and then the HDD would be master and the CDROM slave. Unless you have
two channels, which I doubt on that unit, then they'd likely be on different
channels and each master on the channel....Dale

Or CS for both on each channel

What do you mean by CS? (S like slave ?)
I have wires with two plugs on it:
one for HD master (boot) , the other for CDROM.

I've just changed my x40 CDROM to x8.
It worked before I did the change .....

CS is Cable Select

That might not really tell us anything, even if marked with those words.
Except that you are installing on the same channel. Either they are jumped
master and slave or both CS.

I've just changed my x40 CDROM to x8.

40x to 8x? Either the 8x is not jumpered correctly or the driver is not
appropriate. Have you tried the 40x in it again to see if it still works?
100% sure the 8x works?
