Sound move

Aiwa are well-known for their high-quality hi-fi equipment, but since acquiring the Bernoulli division of Iomega Corp, USA, they have been making steady moves towards the computer peripherals market. Their latest new product is the ACD-300 external CD-ROM drive.

The drive has an RRP of £175 inclusive of VAT and should now be available from hardware retailers. The ACD-300 uses a SCSI interface and is twin-speed capable, multi-session-compliant and has a maximum transfer speed of 300K/sec.

However, its most unusual feature is an illuminated LCD display panel, which keeps you informed of disc activity and SCSI ID and provides information about the currently-inserted CD. Aiwa are also planning to produce a new range of computer speakers.
