MicroSolutions portable CD-ROM drives?

[billy@MIX.COM]

Anyone have any experience with these parallel port drives on
Thinkpads (I have a 755CE)?  All I need is someting to load
software on to the hard disk and perhaps serve as a read-only
drive for data - I don't have to boot an operating system from
it or anything else out of the ordinary.  Just curious how well
made they are or if there're any problems with them?

Thanks,
