I checked a couple of local stores, since its quicker to try and
return something bought at a local store. They don't even had CD-ROM
drives for sale.

I can get a DVD/CD reader from one store.  I don't think Best Buy
sells a mere reader.

Do you think any of these would actually work on a DS10 running 7.3-2?
