We are looking for a multi-purpose CD-ROM player.  The ideal player
for us would meet the following requirements:
 
1.  Can be used from a Macintosh and plays "Macintosh CD-ROMs"
2.  Can be used from an IBM-PC
3.  Can be used on a Macintosh AppleShare file server
4.  Can be used on a IBM-PC Novell file server
5.  Can play audio CDs
 
So far, we are only able to meet some of these criteria with the CD-ROM
players we've seen.  The NEC Intersect player can be used from both
Macs and PCs and can be used on an AppleShare file server.  It plays
music too.  The Meridian player we've looked at can be used from a PC
and it works on a Novell network.  If anyone can recommend a player
which better fits our requirements, we would really appreciate it.
Please send mail and I will summarize.

Thanks!
