s37837k@saha.hut.fi (Jari Lehto) (01/31/91)

I think I soon will need a CD-ROM.
So please everybody having knowledge and/or experience about
CD-ROMs + ST, please answer.

What drives available? Where? Prices? Compatibility?

(one that works under Spectre is also considered...)

I've seen the Atari CD-ROM.  It's strange seeing the Atari logo on 
such an exotic device.

Computer Rock in San Francisco advertises them in ST Informer, but
they haven't had them or have been able to get them for months and
months.  I overheard the tech saying to a customer on the phone that
Atari is redesigning it or something.  (How's that for a big fat
rumor? :^)  I'm sure you can get them over in Europe better than we
can here, but then you probably knew that already.

I guess you don't need to know about prices (around $600) and 
compatibility (I think High Sierra and ISO-something-something -- the 
major ones) since they're difficult to get.
