You could plug in an external USB DVD drive but if your machine is too
old it might not have a USB connection or, if it does, it might be USB
1.0 which is too slow.
But it very probably does have a PCMCIA slot which runs at much higher
speed than USB. There's probably some way to hook in there with a USB
or some other interface. Somebody here will know.
