- The Reno portable CD drive (x2, SCSI-2) from Media Vision seems to be what
- you're seeking.
-
- > - which CD-ROM types cannot play Audio CDs at all?
-
- I believe some old single speed CD-ROM drives can't.
-
- But nowadays, the question seems to be which can do CDDA (CD Direct Audio,
- music going through the SCSI bus and being played by the host computer
- audio device) and which can't.
-
- Please check CDROM28.lha (Aminet, docs/help, set#2), a very good CD-ROM FAQ
- for the Amiga, for a detailed list of those which can.

- Having too quick judgements as the one you displayed about UAE will
- *always* bring you flames... ;-)
