But, you do realize you have to install a driver to recognize the CDROM, right? On my old 486 Toshiba (Satellite 1950C), I had to install NDIS, I think, for Windows 3.1 to recognize it... That comes on the floppy diskette, but how= will you work with it? Wait, perhaps you can download the driver from a network (Web site?)?
