Toshiba XM-3301 CD-ROM: will it work?

I would like to buy a CD-ROM device that I can plug into 
     NeXT
     Macintosh
     PC
     Sun SPARC 

Does anyone know if the "CD Porta-Drive" that IBM and
Microsoft are now promoting (for OS/2 and WinNT, respectively),
will work with NeXT?  

It is essentially a Toshiba XM-3301 CD-ROM device.  325ms average
access time (which I take is about average, nothing spectacular).

If anyone has used this kind of device on a NeXT I sure would like
to know!  Thanks!

I don't have the CD PortaDrive, but I have a CD drive from
HP that uses the same XM-3301 drive mechanism and it works
fine for both the NeXT 3.0 CD and audio CD's.
