- I can't answer all the questions but I can answer some.
-
- >How is the Quicktime playback off of CD?
-
- I'm not a quicktime expert but things play well off my external CD300. Any
- quicktime movie that's any good will have to be pretty large, so a CD is a
- good place to leave them.
-
- >Have you played around with sampling a standard Audio CD? From the
- >descriptions, this sounds like a pretty easy thing to do (direct audio
- >through the SCSI interface...).
-
- Define 'sampling'. You mean playing one? See below. As far as getting clips
- from your favorite RUSH album into 'snd ' files, you can't do it with the
- standard Apple CD setup package (that I know of). I imagine someone will
- write something to do it soon enough.
-
- >Any weird conflicts? (Other than MIDI)
-
- Yes! The audio CD init seems to conflict with AccessPC. You have to make a
- choice - listen to tunes or read MS-DOS floppys, sometimes the choice gets made
- for you.
-
- I'd suggest waiting 'til the next round of Macs come out in Feb before you buy
- a IIvx...

- Marc.
