Pretty much every x86 machine I have *ever* used has been able to boot from CD-Rom, I use this feature and take it pretty much for granted. I find it a sign of how archaic the x86 PC can be that it still has floppy disk drives even now!
You've not been around very long have you! :-)
Not using x86 based crap, no ;)
The first PCs I used *only* had floppy drives, no hard disk, let alone a CD. I've not used 8" floppy drives on PCs but I certainly used them for many years on a Unix box I developed on and some micro based systems.
You should have destroyed them before they had a chance to multiply and take over the world ;)
Thanks Adam
