I have an offer for the Sound Blaster CD at about 450 US dollars. I'd like to know if the CD drive included is a good one, and if it is a SCSI CDROM. As I need to hook it to a PC and to a Mac I'd like to know which brand is the engine inside, so to get the necessary init for the Mac. Alternatively -if the SB CD is not SCSI or is proprietary so that no init can be found for the Mac- is the Apple CD300 a good cd drive? and the Nec 74/84 i (internal/external)? or the newest 3X Nec cd drives? Please, obviously, answer directly to me or CC: your answer. Many many thanks. Maurizio Maurizio Lana - CISI - Universita' di Torino lana@rs950.cisi.unito.it fax: 39-11-8990458
