I wish we had an external CD300 to demo.  I would try ripping the CD300  
out of our demo IIvx but I doubt I would get very far that way.

BTW... with the CD300 and a PhotoCD you can open your own pictures  
directly into Photoshop or any other image manipulation program (they  
appear as pict files) and it is fast and *beautiful*. Also the CD300 is  
supposed to offer SCSI bus digital sampling of audio CDs... perfect for  
musicians with samplers and (Passport's) Alchemy sample editor. Maybe  
sometime soon NeXT computers will do all this stuff with the new Sony CD  
mechanism and some craftily written shareware.
