Has anyone out there taken advantage of the "discount offer" from 
CD Technology, Inc. which is included with the October 19th version
of the PDK CD-ROM? I've been tempted to, since I don't own a CD_ROM
drive or a SCSI adapter and have had to borrow hardware to load 
parts of the PDK, so I called CD Technology last week to inquire
about the "PC/XT/AT/386/486 Adapter" they are offering for $100 each
and was told (by Alberto) that the adapter in question is a
Future Domain TMC850M. Being the curious sort, I picked up a Computer
Shopper over the weekend to do some comparison shopping and found that
these adapters are widely available for from $59 - $79. The Toshiba
XM-3301 drive appears to be competitively priced at $400 - $450.

My questions to anyone who may have already ordered and received shipment are:

    1. Did Alberto mis-speak when he quoted the model number
       of the Future Domain adapter? 

    2. Do they really ship something like the Future Domain TMC1670,
       which generally goes for between $159 and $179?

    3. Did what you got from CD Tech. work?

    4. Do you have any other comments on the experience?

Thanks,
Carl
