Something like that seems to be happening in the Uk at for some reason the nice
external multispin seems to have some down to a level almost on par with that
of the internal tosh double spin. Either their are mass assalting the market
of getting rid of existing stocks.

At the moment I have not seen any triple speed CD-roms. There were none in the
review of cd-roms in my pc mag.


The speil that current materials in cd-roms is too soft is rubbish.
Pioneer manages to produce a quad-speed 600K transfer drive using standard
cd-roms as the media. I have heard of no problems with them.
