MicroCenter in Fairfax, Va. has a Mitsumi CD Rom for $199. they say it has a 350 ms access time. Looking at the specs, it shows two access times. 350 ms for 1/3 stroke (I believe I remember the terminology correctly, but maybe not) and a much higher number, in the range of 650 ms, for full stroke. In the past, I've only seen one number reported. Anybody know what that means? Appreciate the help, since I'm thinking of buying…. thanks! bob
