Joseph, I don't know how the DRM 604 differs from the DRM 600. I can only say that I have used the DRM 600 and I have been pleased with its performance. I do have one caution. The DRM 600 is strictly a single user type of CD-ROM player. It should not be used on a network server where two or more people will be accessing different discs on the player at the same time. The DRM has only one read station and shuffles the discs around mechanically when an I/O request comes in for a disc not at the read station. It takes about 5 seconds to make the swap. If several people are accessing different discs on the same player over a network, response time could degrade pretty quickly. Phil
