Recently completed an A2000 restore and upgrades. Personally found the CD-ROM to be a waste of space and time. The only thing I ever used it for was to install WB3.9.
With CF cards and the reader, you can mount multiple LUN's, so you can easily use an SD card to move data back and forth.
Once I added an Ethernet card, the CD-ROM really became useless as I could use samba or http to transfer files easily.
I put the CD-ROM in storage and can call upon it if needed, but that hasn't happened yet.
