Any IDE or SCSI CDROM will do. Actually I shouldn't say any SCSI CDROM
because I don't know much about SCSI but the SCSI ones that I've installed
work fine. As for the sound card, an ISA one of course.
Or another option would be to get one of those proprietary combos of a
creative labs CDROM and sound card so that the CDROM plugs into the sound
card's special connection. It's 40pin but ot's not IDE so be careful if
you're buying used CDROMs. Make sure that if you want IDE that it is in fact
IDE and not the proprietary interface.

Installation:
Just pop the lid and you'll need some rails to put on the sides of the CDROM
before you slide it it. That's about it.
