- I got a Mitsumi CD-ROM drive for $199.00 from a local wholesaler here in
- San Diego. It's access time is 350ms and the interface card has RCA jacks
- for left and right channel that can be hooked up to your stereo. It works
- just fine. I have Compton's Multimedia CD and it works. It also works
- with Windows 3.1 CD Audio driver to play music CDs. I also purchased
- separately a Thunder Board from Media Vision, which also works just fine.
- I got the TB for $79.00. No complaints so far.
