Just a quick question before I find and purchase a Panasonic CR-563-B from somewhere out there: can and will the CD drive work in Windows 95 without using the DOS drivers (ex: using its own set of drivers either supplied on the internet or in Windows 95 itself), or would that be impossible? The reason why I'm asking is because I like to have a CD drive that is period correct for the machine when it was manufactured between 1993-1994 and the CD drive that's in there currently isn't working very well (sometimes it doesn't want to read the CD whatsoever, or it's too loud) and the version of Linux I have from 1994 only works with a Panasonic CR-563-B CD drive instead of the ATAPI IDE CD drive (kernel panics when attempting to find the CD Drive and CD itself).
