Is it just me or are there other developers out there who keep getting Apple Developer CD's (Wanda, Alpha System 7.0, etc.) and can't afford a CD ROM drive? I have all the discs and have been searching for some kind of service that will take my CD's (or let me do it) and dump them to floppies (probably too many) or a hard drive. I don't know anyone with a ROM drive but would like to have access to SpInside Macintosh and other goodies on these ROMs. Would other people find a service useful? Are there CD ROM drive rental places? Am I all alone? Thanks, Dave Francis

Even more useful, however, would be a listing of what's actually on the CD so I can decide whether or not to bother looking for a service/rental shop. Bob Munroe topix@utcs.utoronto.ca

(VERY TOUNGE IN CHEEK)... Seriously, have you tried to go by an Apple Dealer? They ought to have a CD-ROM in stock since most of the information that they get is on CD from Apple as well. I always try to build a good relationship with a local dealer so that I can do things like this. Give it a try. Other than that, save a bit of money, the player price is getting cheaper, certainly less than a hard drive. -- Kurt Baumann
