Regarding CD ROM Drives, you might want to check out the March(!) issue of
Mac User, which is, by the way, out already (my they're quick!).  On page 150
they review 6 CD ROM drives: Toshiba XM-3201, CD Technology Porta-Drive,
Denon DRD-253, Apple CD SC, OMI ProCDP, and the NEC CDR-77.  I found it to be
interesting reading and am now saving up to purchase the CD Technology Porta-
Drive (MacUser rated it as the best of the 6) for $895.

According to the article, Mac User will be reviewing all available Mac CD's
on the market.  Looking forward to that!!

As for Phil & Dave's Disc, I was told that it is only sold to developer's, and
even then at a high price (don't recall what it was).
