CD Technology is pleased to announce that their top-of-the line CD-ROM drive,
the CD Porta-Drive, is now available at a special 35% discount (SCSI cable not  
included) to all NeXT users over the net.

The CD Porta-Drive, a  high performance (325ms) durable drive that's small
and portable, has been tested with NeXT Cubes and NeXTStations running
NeXTStep 2.1 and beyond. The drive is recognized automatically at system
 boot time  (drive type 3301XA). It will then be mounted automatically
by the OS. No user involvement or special intervention  is needed to use
the drive.

Lab testing has also shown that changing CD-ROMs is a truly easy task: simply
eject the disk inside the drive and insert a new one. System reboot is not
required. Also, both MS-DOS and Macintosh based CDs are mountable
as well.

For additional information, please contact Gordon Clarke. Be sure you mention
this announcement to qualify for the special discount.
