external cd-rom drives - help?

[THE PRESCOTT PROTAGONIST <marla.j.williams@UWRF.EDU>]

To all you experts out there!

What do I need to know when purchasing an external cd-rom drive
for my IBM compatible?  I will attach it to one of my Follett
search stations in the media center.  We had planned to network,
but the budget won't allow that now (what's new?).  I had
purchased some IBM cd's and still want to use them.  THANKS!
