I have some old Hitachi CD-ROM drives. They are single speed, from memory part

Does anyone know what type of controller card is needed in the PC to use these
drives?
Also, can anyone recommend a free C compiler running under MS-DOS, that can
produce code capable of running on an XT type PC? I have used djgpp, but
programs compiled with that require at least a 286SX.

Also, before the days of IDE CD-ROMs, and
"Sound-Card interface", there
were a lot of bizarre proprietary CD-ROM interfaces.
Yes, I've even owned a huge external drive for a while, I mailed it to
someone on this list.
