n00b cd query
« on: December 11, 2005, 03:58:45 PM »
Hi all

Sorry if this has been covered already, but I'd like to know what additional items of hardware are needed to connect an external cd rom drive to my A1200, please. I've just been offered one for nothing on another forum I frequent by a member that picked it up at a car boot sale, thinking it would do for his old pc.

He didn't mention if there were any connection cables with it, so I was wondering what software/hardware I might need to install it.

Thanks guys.

Thanks mate. I've got a cdrom coming in the post this week, but the guy that's sending it hasn't got a clue if it even works. Maybe I should wait and see what I get then take it from there.

I've just mamaged to get hold of the guy, and he says that theres a double-ended connector in the bag that the cdrom came in, and that the cdrom accepts a (missing) kettle-lead type connection. He couldn't find anything that said 'squirrel' on it at all. I'll just wait till midweek and evaluate what I've been sent and report back.  Will I need installation software too?
