I checked the FAQs we received on our system, but I didn't see anything
about CD-ROMS and I've been away from the net for a spell, so pardon me if
I completely missed the discussion on this....

Could someone out there mail me a list of CD-ROM drives that work with a
non-Turbo NeXTstation color?  From the research I've done already, it seems
that they're all pretty slow.  What I'm looking for is (like everyone else)
the best price/performance.

I talked with Tecor and they said their unit is the same as the Sony one
NeXT is selling.  I also spoke with NeXTConnection about the PLI drive they
offer.  The specs are both identical (in terms of seek time, transfer rate,
etc, etc.)

So, the big question for everyone is: "Where did you get your CD ROM, what
kind is it, how much was it and what do/don't you like about it?"

Mail replies to rvose@sparc9.cs.uiuc.edu or post replies here.
