- THEY ARE VERY WRONG!!! I have a NeXT CD ROM, and it is working beautifully with
- all of the Apple CD's. (In fact, the NeXT can READ all of the APPLE CD's under
- 3.0!!!)
-
- Anyhow, the company that makes the drivers is called Trantor Systems, and they
- are located in Fremont, CA, USA. (Information would have a Phone #.. I think it
- is area code 408)
-
- The driver is quite nice, and as I said, it runs all of the Developer CD's and
- others fine. It even comes with a DA that plays audio cd's.
-
- Make sure you ask for the drivers for the SONY CD mechanism.
