For you Sony Laser Library or 535 owners: I installed Media Vision's special new Pro Audio Spectrum Plus with the Sony interface for the Laser Library CDROM built-in. After about 20 hours of experimenting, rewarded only by a few functioning moments, the sound is wonderful; but there is no video or it's *very* unstable. Apparently there is a bug that MV has just discovered that exists in faster 486 systems, but they don't know whether it's in the software, hardware or in the Laser Library drive itself yet. If you get sound, the ability to play audio CD's and the audio portions of multimedia CD's, and if the installation went OK otherwise — including having the three drivers load OK — and if you can copy a data file from the CD to another drive and have the two files compare OK, you're a victim. MV is awaiting parts from Sony to begin diagnosing the problem. No idea when there may be a fix, but they're taking names and numbers.
