Emil:
You can get the drivers for the CDrom drive from Panasonic
site. You may have to dig a little.
Your new drive doesnot need the interface card from your older
drive. The new drive's flat ribbon cable can be connected to a
secondary IDE channel on your motherboard/ or Multi I/O card. Or
remove the cable and connect it to the Hard drive cable (on the
second connector, if you have only one IDE harddrive).
All this depends on the type of Motherboard/CPU/ Multi I/O card in
your system. So if you post that information it will help.
Do you have IDE connectors on your Motherboard?
Do you have one or more IDE harddrives?
Do you have a Multi I/O card with connectors for HD/FD etc. If so
how many IDE channels?
