Hi 23703jim, I believe the only cd drives that worked through that port worked via the Squirrel SCSI interface. I don't think you will get drivers for any other pcmcia cd drive.

Unless of course there are either;

i)Zappo CD rom
ii) Overdrive CDrom

I have these (both same drive) and came with a PCMCIA card interface. I have the drivers if you need a copy. the drive will have a square logo in the middle, normally a black/blue square with yellow/red lines or sim.
