I have two older Toshiba notebooks running Win98 that I'd like to upgrade to a DVD-RW or DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive.

It seems both machines require the optical drive set as SLAVE. I remember years ago using a utility on CDFREAKS to change the master/slave assignment in the firmware on a Dell slim optical drive.

Can someone recommend a slim PATA/IDE drive that can be easily changed to SLAVE via firmware or third part tool?

Thanks in advance.
