AMBRA 486 - Installing a CD-ROM

Hi

Has anyone successfully installed a CD-ROM in an Ambra computer circa 
1991-1992?

At first I was going to try to swap one of the floppy drives for the 
CD-ROM but I've learned that the ROM drive needs different cables, 
probably some sort of special adaptor.

The computer has MS-DOS 6.0 loaded and I've been advised to learn LINUX 
instead, because it would make any jobs I'm doing a lot easier.  In the 
meantime, I'm hoping I can collect a few more clues about doing this 
with the current OS.

Thanks in advance for any ideas about how to do the installation.

Greg P.
