Just been going the weekly shopping and in Coles Chatswood Westfield, they are selling a Lexmark photo jetprinter P707 printer for AUS$59.99 - 6 colour, with multiple card reader slots built-in for printing direct from your camera memory card. http://www.lexmark dot com/US/products/overview/0,1224,MzUwMnwx,00.html For info. Probably no OS/2 support, but who knows ? In these days where it's actually cheaper to buy a complete new printer than replacement cartridges for an existing printer, this is quite a deal ! Obviously end-of-line I'd say.

I would connect the CD writer as Master on IDE 1 and your old CD rom I would alter to Slave also on IDE 1.
