Just a CD-ROM, I may have one. Seems like all the old ones I have tested defective though. The belts all go out on them & won't eject. I've got a couple SCSI ones that I'm pretty sure are still good though.

i haven't had an optical drive in a rig for quite a while...i just use usb sticks to load the OS and such.

I've tried to go optical-less, but I just couldn't do it. There's always a disc for something that I need eventually.
