Universal (XDA Exec) exteranl Cd or DVD drive ?

[HuwG]

Hi,

I'm sure this has been covered before, or is a silly question, but is there any way I can connect an external CD or DVD drive to my XDA Exec ?

Thanks, Huw:)

Pretty sure the answer is "almost no"

You can, within limitations, connect a hard disk:

Maybe you could run a CD/DVD ROM off the IDE controller in that? Although how the drivers would cope is anyone's guess.

There are some aplication like

"Alcohol 52% (CD & DVD emulation software capabilites) to a pc" for ours Xda Exec? Something to install in the storage card?

What I am trying to say is:

if theres any posibility to execute any simple aplication (like a Iuris Dictionary or a Dictionary) under WM05... but simulating Windows xp (for example)....

Thanks

That's a very different question: like asking, if I paint a go-faster stripe on my car, can I fly to space like the Space Shuttle?

Mamaich has done some work on running Windows on the PDAs, but they can barely run their native OS fast enough, they're not really very good at emulating foreign OS. You'll be better off finding a native app that does the same job, if you can.

Yes thanks... The cds that I need, I don´t if they really need Xp or similar versions... but they need to be execute in my pc always in the cd or whit a iso image whit alcohol...

So if there is some thing to run a iso image in the pda will be fine...
