I got a NEC (Model CDR-25BJ) single speed external CD-ROM, SCSI interface, for
$59.00 (Drives with greater speeds cost more.) from M.B.E. Computers at a flea
market type computer show here around the Chicago area. This company is in
Michigan and their phone number is 517-646-9895, fax 517-646-9885. Supposedly
he has around 100 of them, however, I don't know if he does mail order.

Also Chris Hawks of Hawksoft makes cables for the drive and has developed some
software to be able to read a disk. I haven't gotten it yet, and I don't know
all that it can do, but I have heard that it will play a music disk. Chris is
Hawksoft on Delphi and can be reached on the Internet hawksoft@delphi.com.
Snail mail address: 255 S. Randall Road, Suite #172, Elgin, IL 60123. The
version he is selling now works on K-Windows and he is working on a version for
G-Windows.
