DOS compatible usb external CD ROM drive?
Post Body

Apologies if this sounds dumb or answered elsewhere.

I have a gateway Astro all-in-one PC with a non-functioning CD ROM drive. It opens and closes but it doesn’t read. So I opened up the machine to try to remove the old CD ROM drive and honestly it is more effort than it’s worth.

I would like to be able to use CDs on this computer to reinstall Windows 98 and look through my old CD games. Is there an external cd ROM drive that would be compatible with DOS?
