>It consists of the NEC, the Pro-16, and the following CDs: Compton's >MM Encyclopedia, King's Quest V, MacroMind's Action, and also Windows >3.1 and some MM utilities. Are you sure of the bundled software? It sounds too good to be true for all these under $1000. >You can also get some bundle-priced CD's from the list in CDROM.EXE on >DL-10 of this forum. But the catalog that I downloaded specified that the bundle-priced CD's are not applyable to purchases of "Multimedia Upgrade Pakages" nor NEC CD-ROM drives: it only applies to puchase of individual drives other than NEC. I apologise to sound suspicious, but I really wants to make sure.

This is one of those rare instances where something that sounds too good to be true actually is true. We cannot guarantee the availability of all the CD's in our catalog at the bundle prices unless you order a bare drive (ie: not one already part of a bundle), but we do have some excess stock that I can offer bundled with the MV kits on as-available basis. Our operators don't have the authority to offer these, thus the notice in the CDROM.TXT file.

Nelson, Any chance to get that bundled package with an NEC 73M instead of the 83M? Also, can PsL handle the trade-in towards the ProAudio16 mentioned in an earlier message? Thanks for the info. – Ron

Nope, MV is not offering the 73M in a bundle. There is a possibility that their CDPC external subsytem will include the NEC drive in it at a later date (June or later). MV is handling the upgrade directly. You can not do it thru dealers.
