Emil, I assume that you (as so many others here in Sweden) are refering to an IDE CD-R/RW. I just need to warn you that not a single person I know that has bought one has got it to work (might work well at first, but after a time it will not work anymore). But, using it to read should not be a problem in DOS (or any OS) since it then is an ATAPI drive. Writing is another thing entirely, and I would suggest trying Disc At Once (refered in another letter by Travis) I haven't tried this one myself yet (I've been meaning to the last year or so). But I'm sure there are programs for Win 3.x as well that will burn CDs. Quoted from http://www.goldenhawk.com/ide.htm "The bottom line is that a $75 IDE drive will probably never give you the same features and performance as a $200 SCSI drive." (I can only assume they are refering to readers here, but substituting the numbers and it will still hold (and if you ever are in the neighbourhood I've got some 100 or so CDs that I've been forced to trash because of my earlier IDE burner(s) as proof)). //Bernie http://hem1.passagen.se/bernie/index.htm DOS programs, Star Wars ...
