- PK> It's a very professional looking package but now I need to get a
- PK> CD-ROM filesystem for it. The problem is that I'm not sure what
- PK> kind of drive's in there. My System Information program says it is
- PK> an MATSHITA-CR5xx with 1.0c ROM. Is this a Matshushita (Panasonic)
- PK> CR-501? It's Unisys ID is ESD2-CDR (UA2723001350) and it also says
- PK> CR-501-U, Made in Japan on the case. These units are originally
