#Mitsumi vs. Panasonic
Hi,
Another person getting ready to make the plunge into CD-ROM. I'm looking at a
number of the lower priced systems. Can't quite afford those double speed
wonders…
Specifically, I've seen a bit of press on Panasonic drives. While I've bad
experiences with Panasonic in other areas of electronics, I have no knowledge
of them as a computer supplier.
The lower end of the Panasonic line is priced along the lines of the Mitsumi
drives. Can anyone out there offer opinions on how these drives compare? Is
Mitsumi the drive of choice on the low price end?
Also, I don't plan to get a sound card right now because it doesn't interest
me. What happens if I run a CD-ROM multimedia title without a sound card. Does
it lock up or just keep running in silence?
Thanks,
Bob
