I wanted to ask this because today i had to trash 2 old CDROM drives that did not work properly
One cdrom was an LG, got detected on boot, but as soon as i turned on the PC, it opened the tray alone, and if i closed it with or without a cd inside, it opened the tray again and again after 5 seconds
The other drive was a creative one, was just dead, gave ugly noises and when it ejected it ejected even with the cd still spinning
So im tired of this CDrom technology, probably everything will fail sooner or later on those old cdroms.
I wand to know if i can bun a NEW sata DVD drive, and connect it to a 486 motherboard, using one of those sata2ide adapters that are sold on ebay very cheap. Has anyone tried one of those on a 486 motherboard? i can´t belive im the only one with problems with Old cdrom drives
