CD drive?

Anyway, www.bootdisk.com and http://dos.li5.org/ maintain images of boot disks for most operating systems (old and new), and lots of DOS tools, if Jonathan needs them. Wonderful resources - just today I was helping someone (via email) get an external CD drive working under DOS on new 560X working (so that he could eventually install Windows from the CD), being able to point to those sites made my job easier.

Too bad BeOS isn't still around, might be just the right environment for this hardware setup.
