Be nice to us, will ya? I work at Sony and we are trying hard to come with
reasonable solutions to problems amenable to multimedia approaches. And for
hardware, check out the new Sony CDU31A-01. I don't think a price has been
announced yet, but should be very soon. The drive is NOT SCSI and should be
extremely reasonable price-wise. (I hope!). It sustains 150 KB/sec (so is
MPC compatible). (The catch is the access time, but you say you don't want
the "best" — and this drive should be an excellent compromise.
Hope this helps a teeny bit.
