With my TP 750C, I used to use an external SCSI CD-ROM drive (8x) (by
LaCie/Electronique d2) attached to a PCMCIA SCSI controller card (under
Windows 95), for which I had drivers for DOS too.
The SCSI solution is a good investment since you can use your external drive
with any other system equipped with a SCSI controller card (BTW, I still use
this external SCSI CD-ROM drive on my current desktop), and SCSI gives
better performance than a parallel solution.
