| 82197 | 2002-09-23 01:30:00 | hi I would like to know if there is a way to hook up two cd rom drives to my computer. (Its a pentium 166mhz with win 95, 32megs of ram and one cd drive). i am aware that it may need a special card if so where can i get one from and what do they call them. thanks James |

If not you may have to search on the net. Or you could leave the MB details here on PressF1. I'm sure there are enough knowledgeable persons around what can provide an anwser. |
