The PDQ Mobile Multi-Media Module, or M4, lets you play audio and multimedia CDs on most notebook and desktop PCs via the parallel port. A self-contained unit, the PDQ M4 ($149) contains a power supply and a multifunction PCB that provides a Sound Blaster-compatible sound controller and SCSI, IDE, speaker, microphone, and printer pass-through ports. The volume control is software programmable and supports 16-bit mono and stereo sound at up to 44 kHz.
