 Yes, they do. However, the CDAR504 was never offered to public and has been
 discountinued. The 505 was reported been shown in computer show and suppose
 to be release to public soon. You can find more about 505 in various ST 
 magazines that has detail report on the past CeBiT (hope I spelled it right)
 show.( Like the free ATARI USER magaize, the Znet on-line). 
 Maybe Alan or Atari willing to shine some more light on the specifications and
 possible CD-ROM titles for 505?
