The DAK Industries (1-800-325-0800) catalog came yesterday, and he's advertizing
a BSR 380 MS, double-speed 300+ KBS MPC Multimedia CD-ROM drive for $249 (internal
version). That includes 2-way amplified computer speakers (1.6" tweeters and
3" woofers) and something called an interface/sound card. It's not clear whether
the interface/sound card works as a standalone sound card, but the interface
supposedly works with "any sound card".  For $49.90 more, you can get a 16-bit
(true stereo???) interface/sound card. The interface sound card uses two back plates
but only one expansion slot. Oh, the drie is Kodak Multisession Photo CD and
XA compatible.

It sounds like a great deal, but I'm soliciting comments from you experts.  I'm
mostly confused by the interface/sound card.

Thanks for your help on this.
Brooks
