Re: accept donation of an old CD-ROM drive?

Hi Again Robert
     Sorry to be so slow responding. You CD-ROM is a little (techies would say 
     it's pre-ATAPI, therefore harder to configure). But Sony's are easier to 
     work with than others if it's easy for you to drop it off then by all 
     means bring it by, but please don't go to any trouble. If you ever want 
     to stop by call first to be sure someone is there (617)442-4456 also you 
     can call me at home.
     If you run into any other parts or machines in the future please run it 
     by me I would be happy to give you an idea if they are still useful
                                                                -oac

It's dated Dec 1994. It's a Sony CDU55E. Is that too old?
