- Contrary to popular belief :) it seems that Mitsumi can be quick when
- responding to *potential* customer requests for information. 45 minutes
- from first phone call, to answering machine, to personal response, to
- fax-in-hand is not too shabby.
-
- Anyways, here are the contents of a 6 page fax that desribes the
- CRMC-LU005S and CRS-UF series Mitsumi CD-ROM drives...

- The CRMC-LU002S has identical specifications to the LU005S except:
-
- Buffer size: 2352 Bytes
- Access time: 1/3 stroke = 650 msec, full stroke = 1.2 seconds
-
- The features of the LU002S are the same as the LU005S except:
-
- The interface is 8 bits
- It does not say that it supports photo cd
- It does not have a large internal ram buffer
-
- The CRS-UF series seems to be an external version of the CRMC-LU002S
- (it has the same specs). The external drive is 82 mm heigh, 162 mm wide,
- and 298 mm long, and the front loader extends 133 mm. It has the same
- features as the LU002S.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The fax does not mention the CRMC-FR or the CRS-XP series drives,
- (they are probably discontinued) but Computer Shopper does.
-
- In their Feb/93 edition, CS does a review of thousands of CD-ROM drives,
- half of which are probably discontinued or are only available in
- Upper Volta. Anyways, the CRMC-FR is listed as internal full height (!!)
-
- Although the model number is not mentioned, it seems that USA FLEX
- is selling the LU005S for $199. I would guess that the rock-bottom
- price is around $175. I've heard that the LU005S is on national
- back-order; is this true?
-
- Anyways, enjoy the info...
