Are there any good combo deals ? Such as, are there some CD ROM sellers who throw in a sub to Ziff Davis (rather than some encyclopedias that I don't really need ? ) Other than this, which are some good (mail order) places to buy CD ROM drives ? I'm looking at external drives, rather than internal. In either case, is it correct to say that one slot will be used up for a controller ? Is it SCSI ? My preference for external is because then I could tie other devices (tape drives, etc) to the same scsi port. Is this correct ? Please post, or email, and I'll summarize.
