March 1996 / What's New / 6.7-Speed CD-ROM Drives

The Toshiba XM-3701 Series of 6.7-speed CD-ROM drives support a data transfer rate of 1000 KBps. The XM-3701B internal ($415) and TXM-3701D external ($515) drives employ the variable-speed playback system, which allows the drives to read data before the disk reaches a specific rotational speed of 1, 2, or 6.7 times the standard rotational speeds. You can use eithe r of the drives as a CD-audio player independent of your PC. The drives support CD-DA transfers over the SCSI bus for maximum bandwidth utilization and feature a 256-KB data buffer.
