As far as I know, there are two PORTABLE CD-ROM drives, NEC 3Xp and
Zenith Z-Player. The Zenith Z-Player needs a Type-II PCMCIA slot. So,
I'm not sure it will work under OS/2 or not.
I really think the question is how to connect your CD-ROM drive to
your TP755 if you plan to use PCMCIA SCSI card. I use Dock I to connect
my CD-ROM drive, and it works great in OS/2 and Windows. Of course,
you could get a Dock I with optional CD-ROM drive.
Just a question come into my mind, that is why IBM don't have their
PCMCIA SCSI card (of course, it should be OS/2 supported)? Recently,
IBM just announces their audio card (the only audio card can work in
OS/2 so far), but how about the SCSI card? Hope I can see one in the
near future:-) Does anyone know why?
