Glad to hear your 190 is back up. :-) As to your question, while I don't have or need to get and use a CD-ROM for my Powerbook, I had no problems at all hooking my external SCSI Zip drive to my 5300 -- and since a 5300 and a 190 have identical SCSI ports , I imagine I could do it with my 190 too. In any case, what you'll need is an HDI-SCSI adapter (I finally bought one a couple months ago off the Swap List). All I did was plug mine into the Powerbook and then connect the other end to the Zip drive, and viola, I could get at the Zip drive from the Powerbook. I guess an external SCSI CD-ROM should work the same way..... ~Yersinia. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
