- Too late. :-) However, I don't think you should hurry up with those
- storage cases, as the official line from Nintendo Japan is that the
- SNES CD-ROM won't come out any time before next summer.

- I have heard none of the sort, unfortunately.

- However, I HAVE seen a SCSI adapter which will let a Mac connect to a
- Turbo Duo CD-ROM. What I saw in the NEC stall at the Summer '92 CES was

- program on a IIci which offloaded images from the CD-ROM.
