I'm thinking of buying a new CDROM for multimedia. I have an old Sony internal, but it doesn't have audio and it has its own interface board – I'd prefer SCSI. I'm torn between buying a high performance device like the NEC external 84, or whether to go for a multimedia bundle with some disks thrown in. Any comments on the value of the bundles? (I'm in a similar dilemma on the sound side – can't decide whether to go for a high end board like Turtle Beach which sounds as though it would have great MIDI capabiliy [but I probably wouldn't get round to using] versus getting a regular games type card like Sound Blaster etc.) Ho Hum Mike
