#Apple300CD-ROM Driver
5 messages in this thread
Dear Al,
Thanks for your prompt reply. How do you feel it compares with other CD
ROM devices on the market? I was a little disappointed that other members of
the forum did not volunteer with their opinions as quickly as you. Before I
make a major investment, I always like to get as much information as possible
in order to make a semi-intelligent decision. Thanks again!!!

Ted,
I just got an Apple CD300, and yes it is discounted. The computer
"Superstores" in my area (Washington DC) sold it at a discount, and three days
after I bought mine at $599, the price dropped here to $499. Happily, the
store gave me the difference :-). Email me for details if you want.
As for performance, I'm fairly happy with the drive. It runs QuickTime movies
from the QT developer's CD beautifully. I'm having a problem right now
mounting an ISO-9660 CD-ROM. I'm planning to call my dealer tomorrow, so I'll
try and let you know how the support goes. From past experience with Apple,
I'm not very optimistic.

P.S. If anyone can tell me why I can't mount an ISO9660 disc, I'd be grateful.
I have a 5 MB IIsi running 7.1 with CD-ROM driver 4.0.2, and the foreign access
extension as well as high sierra and ISO extensions in my extension folder. It
mounts HFS CDs and plain audio CDs just fine.
Dear Cheinan,
Thanks for the information. Pardon my CD ignorance, but what exactly is
"mounting an ISO 9600 CD-ROM"? In additon,what is an HFS CD? Just when I feel
that I may have mastered Elementary Mac101, another subject appears for which I
have absolutely no clue!!!!!

ComuUSA in Boston sells it at $389 plus tax yesterday. I am going to buy it.

Ted,
The Apple CD300 is excellent. It's Photo CD multi-session compatible, is dual
speed, it's backed by frequent software upgrades from Apple, and they just
reduced the price! Go for it!
Also, the Macintosh traffic here is very slow. You might have better luck over
on the Mac forums.
Cheers, Al
