Why haven't I heard any news about the CDAR in any of the Atari
magazines, or even here? It seems that although I though they were
like 1450XLDs, apparently they are out, sort of. Is there any kind
of software for the ST? I mean, I would think that there would be
at least some mention of it in an ad somehere in an Atari magazine.

The CDAR-500 has been around for quite some time. But the main problem was making up a 550 megabyte disk of software for the CD to use. What use would the CDAR be without software and Atari didnt know what to fill the disk up with so know they have a new program called softsource that developers are sending in their demos so atari can make up an official CD rom disk. More info can be found on the front cover of ST informer Sept. Issue. There have been several writeups for the CDAR in European magazines like ST World etc. Many CDARS can be found at main dealers across North America but CD's are harder to find. As a developer I can buy the CDAR it is listed at about 895.00 Canadian. Hardware@rose at your Service
