I have a compaq contura 430c and been trying for ages to install a
winport 2000 external cdrom. I guess the problem is I have to change the
ecp port to an epp or spp. How do I do thta?
Are there maybe other solutions?
What is the url of the website of winport??
Thanks

You change the port setting under your BIOS setup (usually accessed by
pressing DEL or similar key at bootup).

Why are you such an anoying pain in the arse? I just need some help. I'm not
stupid: I looked in the booklets. I guess you are one of those people who is
so arrogantly busy looking at there own ass, that they are to busy to show
some compassion.

Guamy : you might not know this, but the Compaq Contura 430c is a laptop
; you'd have a hard time squeezing the drive inside (and a lot of broken
plastic pieces on your hands).  If you do not have anything to say, do
not say it here.  
Try BIOS settings for the Contura.  Are you running Win95 ? 

Cheers,
