- I'm shopping for a CD-ROM drive for a AT-bus 386.
- What are the good alternatives? The major objectives of interest
- are:
-
- 1. Linux on CD-ROM
- 2. Other Unix source code CD-ROMs
- 3. Kodak Photo CD
- 4. USGS or CIA map databases
- 5. Some PC CD-ROMs like those produced by National Geographic, etc.
-
- I would prefer an external drive, because that frees me in
- terms of hooking it up to non-PC computers.
-
- What do you recommend? I would prefer a low-end cheap drive, since
- speed is not important.
-
- Thanks,
-
- -ans.
