Share cdrom (NOT mountpoint) over network

Hello guys!
I've got a desktop PC with no free slots to install cdrom into (and I dont want to buy new usb-cdrom if there is any other way to solve the problem) plus pretty old laptop with cd+dvd-rw on-board. The thing I want to have is that cdrom shared over network to my pc to operate it just as I would with local one. ssh without password and some nfs-magic is cool, but hey, any way just to share it as a device?
Thanks for you responds,
 
Its possible in plan9 and windows, afaik:)
Also, with nfs problem is cd-writing.
ssh + cdrecord = ok, but not user-friendly and Im not the only user of the PC.
probably some k3b with x-forwarding over ssh or something =__=
 
How would you do this any different in Windows? SAMBA/CIFS shares are conceptually the same thing as NFS, a network file share.

As far as a low-level device sharing, there's iSCSI and AoE, ATA over Ethernet. Whether they'd work for this, don't know.

If I would remember that.. its afaik for plan9 & afair for windows, cause i remember writing some cds from laptop on desktop without rdp and other desktop-sharing sw, something around 2003 :)
