Well, this won't be of much help except to show that it works for someone.  I've used a 
parallel port CD-ROM since I got my 701C in May.  In fact the day I got it I formatted 
the hard drive and installed Warp Connect from a CD-ROM.  I did that with the BIOS which 
came with the 701C but have since upgraded to BUTUS30.  Two weeks ago I bought a 1GB 
drive for my 701C and again installed Warp Connect from my CD-ROM via the parallel port.  
Since we don't use windows I don't know whether it would work but I doubt that this 
would be the difference.

Good luck,

Lee
