Dennis the Sony CDU-541 (internal) and CDU-7211 (external) are fully MPC
compatible and are robust enough for future MPC spec growth. They are SCSI
interfaces. Don't know anything about the Mitsubishi drive, though it
sounds intriguing. Buffer size is no guarantee that a drive is MPC
compatible, it depends on whether the drive with buffer has continuous read
capability. MPC specs say drive should have at least 64K buffer with
>150Kbs DTR with continuous read capability. If you hear anthing about the
Mits drive, drop me a note, I'm always interested in new hardware hitting
the market. Cheers, Keith.
