Well, I'm an idiot. Here i've been moaning about how my "Animals" CD wont work and I discovered I goofed (maybe). Ya know I've always heard that you should have ALL SCSI devices turned on while your working with your Mac…but did I listen? I usually don't turn on my…
MacWarehouse's $299 CD-ROM: Mechanism=NEC-55, Data Transfer Rate=300KB (150KB audio), Acess time=400MS, Cache=64K.

Oh, a P.S., I did hear finally a confirmation that the device does have RCA jacks. Scott
AH! I see! No mention of it at all in the "special" "CD-ROM WAREHOUSE" catalog. In that catalog, they only state "Utility Software (setup, audio, driver – $79.95 value" (but then offers it later in the catalog for $59.95). You think they'd advertise this and other features a little more.…
Never heard of the NEC-55 mechanism myself….but here is some other info I got when I called and asked about this device. Data transfer rate of 300KB, Access time of 400MS, Cache memory = 64K, Audio lines out = Headphone jack only…NO RCA JACKS! (Though some one else I spoke…
