Terry, I believe that the CDU-6201 is not MPC compatible. If it's the drive I think it is (an older verison of the current CDU-6205), it has only an 8KB buffer (v. 64KB, which I think is needed to run Multimedia properly). You can call Sony to confirm this: 408/432-0190 703/620-1300 617/630-8811 Good luck, rl

Do you happen to know what the brand of CD-ROM drive is that DAK sells with its machines? I have the DAK machine with internal CD and am curious what I have to do to make it an MPC compatible system…IF ANYTHING? I have a Thunderboard. Maybe all I need are the Windows extensions? Whatever those are and however one gets them separately. Jim

Jim, Sorry, I do not have any info on the DAK drives, although I suspect their tech support line could provide you with that info. I'm told that Windows 3.1 has the Multimedia extensions in place. rl

All read the file in library keyword: dak. There's a new drive out at Dak. I just ordered the 380 millisecond BSR drive from them also. There bundles are outstanding. If anyone wants info. on Dak, I'll be glad to try and help. Thanks Kevin
