#How about Chinon drives?
3 messages in this thread
I'm trying to find that drive that can do it all, and so I've been
monitoring the discussions here quite carefully. I saw an ad in a recent
Info World that featured the Chinon CD-ROM drives. The top end model
claims to be Multimedia, XA and Photo CD multi-session compatible. Another
benefit is that I think it's available here in Hong Kong where I live.
Anyone here got anything to say about Chinon, one way or the other?
It look like a nice drive. But it won't be shipping until early 1993 like
most of the nicer drives with similar capabilities.
OK, so it's VaporDrive? Too bad. But actually I'm in not particular
hurry. It does look as though if you want a drive for less than $500 that
has all the good stuff you're likely to want, it's wait til summer. By
then there should actually be some competition among the XA-compatible,
Photo CD multi-session, Multimedia-spec etc. etc. drives.
Right now, you have to give up something. The Mitsumi looks promising, but
it's only internal and there is something it can't do. I forget what.
Thanks for your input. I'll wait.
