I have ordered one of those packages, Rick, and I will give a full
report on it when I receive it if you are interested.

The original offer when I ordered it was for a SONY CD reader.  The
ad has since been changed to a BSR CD reader.  I am planning to try
installing it in a computer with a JAWS synthesizer for a blind
friend.

BTW, since ordering the package, I have become interested in the
characteristics of CD ROMS and I am currently reading two excellent
books on how they access such large amounts of information --
"Optical Publishing" and "The New Papyrus" -- both published by
Microsoft.
