I had to buy an external one recently to get some expensive MRI data off a CD-ROM, as none of my computers or laptops have optical drives these days.

Now I can be introspective by looking inside my head.

I still have my first computer in the attic.

6MHz/12MHz turbo, 40MB internal drive, 5.25'' floppy drive. Not sure about RAM, I think it had 64KB.

Wait I have an .exe file to fix that for you right here somewhere!

What's a CD-Rom drive?

I just replaced my wife's desktop. Pulled the optical drive out of the 6 year old box I was replacing.

Connected it up and it works seamless. She'll use it once or twice in the next 5 or 6 years.

Had to scroll pretty far to find this comment...

Just mount the iso/dmg file as a virtual drive
