Can anyone tell me if the NT installation disks can recognise a CD-Rom
connected via parallel port?
I have an old notebook with no CD-Rom and I don't know how to install Win NT
on it.
I have an external box to connect any IDE peripherial via parallel port.

Thank you.

No problem

Good to hear this from you, I have to install NT on a 486 laptop using an
external box connected via parallel port which accepts any IDE peripherials.

Thanx for your answer.
