Just called JVC about their JVC Personal ROM and they made
the following amendments to John's product/price quote. 

The Personal ROM comes in three different packages:

   1. SCSI card, 600MB drive, CD-ROM writer/reader     $12,799
   2. SCSI card, DAT drive, CD-ROM writer/reader       $8,500
   3. SCSI card, 600MB drive, DAT drive, 
      CD-ROM writer/reader			       $15,799

Other useful info from JVC:
   -  it takes 2 hours to press a CD  
   -  you get one media (i.e. blank disk) with the system
   -  $40 for additional media
