Re: TI-H: IDE CD-ROM to play music




Do any of you actually have one?  I've used mine with NT--I was happy it
even recognized it.  Tho, it is EXTREMELY slow.  I've seen faster 1x IDE
scsi/ide drives.  Admittingly, it was made for DOS/Win3.1x machines.
Also, as a portable CD player--it has to actually "think" between
switching tracks.  It was a promising idea, but...
Any other opinions?
