Hi. Can anyone tell me if MicroSolutions' CD-ROM drive is a good choice to buy? The feature that I like is: NO INTERFACE CARD. Their "backpack" concept allows you to just plug into any parallel port on any IBM-compat. Based on these specs: Max transfer rate is 150 KB/s Comes with 8KB device driver 128KB cache memory included in the drive Comes with built-in audio circuit/headphone/line output jacks Simplified CD loading system; no cartridge needed Compatible with DOS v3.1 or higher Price is $499 Are these good features? I'm looking to buy my first CD-ROM drive and wonder how they compare. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. –Lisa
