Thank you for sharing your finding, short vga extension cables are not exactly common. There has always been a cheap alternative for short pass through voodoo cables though: vga splitters (just leave one end unconnected). It's not a better solution by any means but it's dirt cheap and widely …

Get disks manufactured in the early 90s. You still have a very high chance of throwing the whole package away depending on how they were stored. But once you find a good package it'll last.

Why do some people put the optical drive at the bottom? Oh there are practical reasons as well. One for example is cable length, many times you cannot connect a cdrom and a hard drive together on the same channel.

Try different DDO software, not all of them reserve so much memory. IF I remember correctly, a version of EZ-Drive that I'm using reserves about half of Ontrack. edit: according to this, EZ-Drive 9.x uses 5KB http://site.iendraguignan.free.fr/telecharger … FAQ.htm#memory1
