In the Monday, October 26 issue of Electronic Engineering Times there is
an article on page 49 on the new Atari CD-ROM drive which Atari is expected
to show at the Comdex show next week. The half-height drive is slated for
U.S. delivery before the end of the year and may be in the $500-$650 range.
The drive will feature an SCSI-like port that will allow it to link to
both the Atari PC and the ST series and, with slight modifications, other
systems. The drive is being supplied by an unnamed Japaneses manufacturer
and will also have stereo audio playback for use with CD laser-audio disks.
The article also mentions the Apple CD-ROM but gives no introduction date.

myself but I'm told they can be very effective."
