Boy! remember us talking about getting a CD-ROM drive for the Amiga and
putting the Fish disk collection on it, and what the heck would we call it?

Well.... It's Heeeeere!!

I saw this ad in the latest Amiga World

From Xetec (913) 827-0685

CD-ROM System

Xetec brings the cutting edge of optical technology to the Amiga with the
CDx-650 SCSI drive systems. Now, unlimited access to vast amounts of information
is possible with removable, non-volatile CD-ROM discs having capacities to
650 meg (750 floppies). Reads industry standard ISO 9660/High Sierra discs 
(same format used in Commodore's new CDTV).

Audio compact discs. In addition, the CDx systems include the ability to play
conventional digital audio CDs with supplied software through stereo line out
or headphone jacks.

Take your pick. The external model, CDx-650e features a rugged compact enclosure
with built in power supply, and dueal SCSI connectors for daisy chaining. 
Economical internal model also available.
