The Dante manufacturing was done with a company and each year I burned a TeX
Collection DVD and sent it to the manufacturer.

IMHO, this is totally easy. Long ago when I didn't want a disc drive in my
laptop any longer I purchased an external disc drive which can easily be
connected via USB.

It wasn't expensive and I have been using it for the TeX Collection DVD each year.

These devices are also available in the United States. 😁

Here an example from Amazon:
