Hello experts I am in the dark on this one. Please don't ask me to write a device driver for this, I wouldn't know where to start :) The problem: I have a spare 36x speed cdrom drive, and I want to put it into an external case to use with my laptop. An external case typically has a parrallel-port-alike connection (IYSWIM) The problem is, what configuration should the other end be? If the other end is pcmcia, what driver is available that would allow me to see the cdrom from freebsd, or should the other end be plugged into my printer port (with a suitable plug)? I remember hearing that this was not possible under 2.2.6 - is this still the case?
