- Does anybody know anything or have any experience with this unit? I've seen
- it for US$368 with 5 free discs which sounds attractive. Plus it is an
- external unit with external play controls which makes it easy to use and
- requires no caddy. However it is not MPC compatible (seek time is 700ms).
- Is this a problem with multimedia or will it mean it will take longer
- to find tracks. The Tandy CD ROM which is bundled with their multimedia
- system has a seek time approaching 1s but it seems to be okay.
- Thanks
