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?
