- AIWA manufactures an external SCSI-II double speed CD-ROM player
- with audio controls so you can play audio CDs without your computer
- switched on. Works fine. The audio controls are rather basic, though,
- stop/play/eject/forward/reverse. If you want to program the player, you'll
- need to use the computer.
