Lou, I looked at the spec sheet I have and they list the manufacturer as Mitsumi Corporation. So if someone knows their phone number maybe they can jump in and give it to you. Here is what I got from the DAK BBS ———————————————————- Applicable discs…………. CD-ROM Mode-1 data disc…
Frank, You have just cleared up an area of confusion for me about multi-media and if you could clear up a couple more I would be grateful. 1. Does DOS (ie. non-windows) multi-media *require* special sound cards, does it just sound better with them, or is it different from product…
