I don't know about CDROM but nowadays you can buy an external HDD with
parallel port connection for ~$150 (used). Usually comes with driver for
DOS. You can take the drive out of the enclosure and put it in a computer
as needed. You can also connect the machine to another using a laplink
parallel cable and run Norton Commander for DOS or something like that and
transfer the data. I have used the latter method with small laptops for
software installations etc (laptops w/o cdrom).
