I have a parallel port adaptor, but I can't think of who makes it right now. I think it is a linksys adaptor but I will check tonight and let you know tommorrow. You could also go with a PCMCIA adaptor, as long as it worked with os2 and dos. I have been thinking of getting a QLogic PCMCIA scsi adaptor since there are supposed to be drivers for it under Linux also. That way my CD-ROM would be available to all three. As far as the CD-ROM drive itself, the Reno is an ok, but not spectacular, double speed drive. It is rather large when hooked to the computer. It can also be used as an audio only drive when not hooked to the computer and then it is about the size of a sony discman or other portable audio CD. The nice thing about it is that I have seen it for as little as $99 in a couple of ads recently, check the back of computer shopper. Of course if you dont' already have the scsi adaptor then that is another $100-200, I think mine was $149. Pete Peter W.
