If you pickup a MAC Warehouse catalog you'll see a Toshiba mechanism
in an MacW enclosure advertised as a 3X speed drive for $199! They
advertise it as a 3.4 times faster than a single speed drive.
Motor driven caddy-less design, includes DB25/50 SCSI cable, power
cord, SCSI terminator and acceleration software (for the Mac of
course I wonder if this where/how the speed increase is atained, may
not really be 3.4x faster without software). Guess someone needs to
ask order taker about "true" speed of drive without the accelerator
program. BRB

Yes it is a true 3X drive, the Toshiba mechanism is a TMX 5201B.
Anyone using this drive? I'd like to hear about how you like it.
One other thing Robert, the O-T at MacW said its on back-order but
they're receiving product and shipping on a daily basis to
outstanding Backorders.
I've been considering the addition of a new CDROM and this one looks
appetizing except I don't know if it can handle music direct from CD
to hard drive like the Apple 300e.
