'''Matsushita MKE''' is Panasonic/Matsushita's proprietary CD-ROM interface, found on early [[Creative Labs]] [[Audio|sound cards]].

It allows the connection of up to four CD drives per bus, with each drive's ID set by jumpers on the drive. It uses 40-pin straight-through cables, so common IDE cables can be used successfully (although typically these only have connectors for up to two drives.)

The interface was designed my Matsushita-Kotobuki Electronics (MKE) Industries, for which it was named after.

== Drivers ==

'''<tt>CDMKE.SYS</tt>''' must be loaded in <tt>CONFIG.SYS</tt> to provide the low-level CD driver. <tt>MSCDEX.EXE</tt> is then loaded as normal to provide a drive letter for the CD.

This driver can be found under these names:

* [http://www.filewatcher.com/_/?q=cr563.zip CR563.ZIP] - CR-563-B driver
* CR562.ZIP - apparently an older driver for a dedicated interface board, but also for an SBPro/SB16

== Controllers ==

These devices provide a Matsushita MKE interface.
