I just use a SCSI PC card (aka PCMCIA) and connect it to a regular external
CDROM drive. The drive itself is not marketed as "portable", but it is
smaller than a dictionary - thus portable enough for my purposes (I also
share it with my desktop machine).

I would assume you could do the same with any external drive (Parallel Port,
SCSI, ...) provided it was compact enough and had OS/2 drivers.
