Edna,
"LBA" and using "EZ Drive" does not apply when adding the CD drive. The
connector on the ESS 1869 is an IDE connector for a CD drive, not a Hard
Drive, so that is good. Don't forget that the CD Drive will need a power
source. You don't mention you operating system, but if you don't have the CD
drivers, they are available at this web site

I don't know anything about the B 16.

< They have what appears to be an IDE connector on them? If so, would this
work for the CD?
