Good luck finding a cd-rom drive these days
I had to buy an external one recently to get some expensive MRI data off a CD-ROM, as none of my computers or laptops have optical drives these days.
Now I can be introspective by looking inside my head.
Those make terrible cupholders though.
Probably just those with a slot, not a tray.
I still have my first computer in the attic.
6MHz/12MHz turbo, 40MB internal drive, 5.25'' floppy drive. Not sure about RAM, I think it had 64KB.
We need turbo buttons and MHz displays back on our computers!
Wait I have an .exe file to fix that for you right here somewhere!
I just replaced my wife's desktop. Pulled the optical drive out of the 6 year old box I was replacing.
Connected it up and it works seamless. She'll use it once or twice in the next 5 or 6 years.
That stuff was just built differently
What's a CD-Rom drive?
Just mount the iso/dmg file as a virtual drive
