You need to get the drivers from the store, you should ask for them. But to
be frankly with you I have never seen a CD without DOS drivers (the one I
last bought even had drivers for 4 or 5 UNIX versions)
When you get a CD you should mainly look for the ??X setting (transfer
speed multiple) and what the search time is, 65 ms is nice :)
A DVD player probably also have DOS drivers, but I'm not so certain there.
DVD drives are often *much* slower than a normal CD drive so I wouldn't buy
one if I really needed one.
