Hi:
	I have a system with the following (important for this question ?) components:

Tyan Titan III PCI mbrd (Triton chipset) with Pentium-75,
..
PCI 1MB  Cirrus SVGA video card,
Western Digital 1.2GB EIDE Hard Drive (run by on-board EIDE controller),
..
Zoltrix 14.4 internal faxmodem
..

	If I plan to have FreeBSD installed on this system, not only I don't
want any trouble with what's already shown above, but if I wanted to install
from Walnut Creek CD-ROM, what CD drive should I buy ? Any commments from
people who have actually done that would be greatly appreciated.

Vlad.
