Just use a usb cdrom then, and if the box doesn't support that, then it should be given to Hal :)
My situation: IBM ThinkPad 760E CDRom - Pentium I SUSE 2.3 (the book says Pentium I & 32megs is all it needs, and has a CD) floppy drive is bad (floppies good elsewhere look bad to this machine)

I think booting to a CD on a PCMCIA adapter would be unlikely.
That's what I was going to try if I could get a driver installed... So if that won't work, would a USB CD drive (using some kind of adapter, the 760E has neither CD drive nor USB port) boot?
Alternatively, maybe I should give it to Hal (? "open the pod bay door", that Hal?)
