[comp.sys.sun] CD ROM drives and drivers

m.summerfield@trl.oz.au (11/04/90)

I am currently looking into the purchase of a CD ROM drive and associated
software. The prime motivation for this is for use with Macs, since Apple
are now releasing major software packages on CD ROM. However, we also have
a number of Sun SparcStations, and it would be nice if we could share the
hardware with those.

So what I would like to know is: does anybody out there (particularly in
Australia, so that prices and suppliers are more relevant) have any
experience, good or bad, with any particular player? What is available for
use with the Mac, other than Apple's offering (which is probably
comparatively pricey). Finally, is there anybody out there who has
obtained a player with driver software for both Mac *and* SunOS? Or who is
using (or has seen) a player from a company who advertise compatibility
and software for both environments?
