- I wish we had an external CD300 to demo. I would try ripping the CD300
- out of our demo IIvx but I doubt I would get very far that way.
-
- BTW... with the CD300 and a PhotoCD you can open your own pictures
- directly into Photoshop or any other image manipulation program (they
- appear as pict files) and it is fast and *beautiful*. Also the CD300 is
- supposed to offer SCSI bus digital sampling of audio CDs... perfect for
- musicians with samplers and (Passport's) Alchemy sample editor. Maybe
- sometime soon NeXT computers will do all this stuff with the new Sony CD
- mechanism and some craftily written shareware.
