Good luck finding a cd-rom drive these days

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

I had to buy an external one recently to get some expensive MRI data off a CD-ROM, as none of my computers or laptops have optical drives these days.

Now I can be introspective by looking inside my head.

Those make terrible cupholders though.

[-] MrBakedBeansOnToast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Probably just those with a slot, not a tray.

[-] r00ty@kbin.life 3 points 1 year ago

Wait I have an .exe file to fix that for you right here somewhere!

I still have my first computer in the attic.

6MHz/12MHz turbo, 40MB internal drive, 5.25'' floppy drive. Not sure about RAM, I think it had 64KB.

We need turbo buttons and MHz displays back on our computers!

I just replaced my wife's desktop. Pulled the optical drive out of the 6 year old box I was replacing.

Connected it up and it works seamless. She'll use it once or twice in the next 5 or 6 years.

That stuff was just built differently

What's a CD-Rom drive?

[-] eramseth@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Had to scroll pretty far to find this comment...

[-] sv1sjp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just mount the iso/dmg file as a virtual drive
