- Well, I`ve got a mitsumi FX400 and a Tandem interface, the
- interface will slow down your machine though as it uses interupts. I`ve
- had no problems with CD32 emulation with it, and it also comes with
- instal disks ( that is definately for the Mitsumi C.D. drives, but I`m
- not sure about any other Drives) My drive uses E-IDE. not much else to
- say, but I think it is quite a good system, but could definately be
- improved, (Like the C.D. audio player, it looks a bit tacky).
