From: haney@tramp.Colorado.EDU (HANEY PATRICIA J) Path: boulder!tramp!haney Newsgroup:misc.forsale.computers,comp.sys.mac.wanted Subject: CD-ROM Drive Reply-To: haney@tramp.Colorado.EDU (HANEY PATRICIA J) Distribution: usa Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder Keywords: CD-ROM For sale: CD Technology's Porta-Drive CD-ROM player brand new, still in original packing $595 includes software interface for Mac computers (lists for $895, cheapest mail order is $649+shipping) This is my final top choice of drive for features versus cost, it's made by CD Technology using Toshiba's drive mechanism (the fastest on the market). But I had to buy two of CD Tech's drives to get this great low price. I love the Porta-Drive! And you can have one too. It's a very compact design, 2" x 6" x 9", the power adapter is separate and can be exchanged with a 2 hr battery pack for portable use. The drive itself only weighs 4 lbs (one of the lightest). It can also be used with any PC compatible computer with standard 8-bit bus SCSI adapter card. First offer of $595 takes the drive! Shipping negotiable. Check the 3/90 MacUser mag for their CD-ROM review (this drive placed tops!) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^ Trish Haney ^ haney@tramp.Colorado.edu ^ "Do androids ^ ^ Undergrad, CU Boulder ^ 305 30th Street ^ dream of ^ ^ "The Mac Helper" ^ Boulder, CO 80303-3321 ^ electric sheep?" ^ ^ Beginner help ^ (303) 494-0309 ^ -Philip K.
