CD Rom. for Compaq Ipaq Desk top

[william p]

I was given a Compaq Ipaq Legacy Free desktop . It doesn't have a CD rom. drive. It looks like it will have to be real thin. Does anyone know what I need to get? I would like to fix it up for my granddaughter.

According to this Compaq iPAQ Desktop 'QuickSpecs' page:

the following are (were) available for the 'MultiBay' slot on the left front of the PC:

MultiBay 24X CD-ROM Drive 165864-B21
MultiBay 8X DVD-ROM Drive 202994-B21
MultiBay 4/4/20X CD-RW Drive 201808-B21

Here's a Google link for that last one, the CD-RW model:

Another option would be to get a CD-RW (or DVD-RW) that connects to one of the USB ports. The USB hookup probably wouldn't be as fast as an internal direct connection but, they do work.

Thank you for the help. I found one on E Bay. Hopefully it will work out.
