Does anyone have a spare IDE cdrom/dvdrom drive?

Hello, as a small project I’m rebuilding my first computer, it was a pentium 350 mhz with windows 98, you don’t see a lot of these around and as a old videogame console collector this is kinda a next stage (or the sign that I should stop…anyway…) .

I was wondering if someone have an IDE optical drive laying around collecting dust , is must be IDE , not sata, any speed is fine :slight_smile:

Might have one!

I’ll take a look in my piles of junk. Won’t guarantee it works tho!

I have an old Sony DVD writer that is IDE and also a SATA DVD writer.
I can bring one or both to the space tomorrow.

That would be great , Thanks!

In my rush out the door I grabbed the SATA drive by mistake. I should be over again on Saturday for the lasercutter demo if you can wait that long.

is ok , don’t worry :slight_smile:
