Comment on Oh sweet, my old Empire Earth box!

I have an external DVD-RW on a shelf just in case. Every once in a while I need to bring it out and I wonder if a giant boulder is going to start rolling at me when I grab it.

I actually have a SATA cable and power plug discreetly tucked in a spot in my PC case and have just taken the side off and plugged in a drive on occasion. It’s normal purpose is troubleshooting other hard drives, but it works for that too

I just bought an external cd/dvd drive so I can convert my DVD library into a digital one for convenience and to preserve the dvds longer.

I’m having some issues with the speed of conversion, but my biggest problem is quickly becoming storage space.

Also, I dug up some of my old games like Caesar III and installed a no-CD “patch”.

Good times.

There’s an adapter or replacement for everything
