I am boning up on CD-ROM and related technologies (out of necessity) and
have found a reference to CD-PROM.  In "The Brady Guide to CD-ROM", which
was written in late 1986, the authors said CD-PROM could be written in small
quantities economically and read in from standard CD-ROM drives.
The book said that availability is not expected until "late 1987 or 1988".
Has this technology hit the market yet?  If so, I really need to know
who is manufacturing the drives and disks, how much they cost, their
availibility, how well they have been working out, and any wisdom/caveats
about their use.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!!!
