Installing the Drive
Introduction
When used as a CD-ROM drive, the 20X Max Portable CD-ROM
Drive can operate at up to either 10 times the speed of an audio CD
player (power-saving mode), or 20 times the speed of an audio CD
player (normal mode). You can use the CD-ROM drive connected to
your computer, or as a portable audio CD player. The drive comes in
two models:
Base model
The base model is a portable CD-ROM drive that does not
include an audio device driver or speakers. To hear sound with
the base model, you must supply your own headphones or
external speakers, and your computer must have an audio device
driver previously installed.
Stereo model
The stereo model is a portable CD-ROM drive that includes an
audio device driver, PCM/MIDI sound capability, and removable
speakers.
The illustrations in this manual can be used to locate controls and
external connectors on both models.
The drive has three power source options: AC adapter,
Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery pack, and alkaline batteries (available
at stores).
In addition to this manual, the option package contains:
Base model or stereo model of the CD-ROM drive
PCMCIA card
AC adapter
Power cord for the AC adapter
Interface cable
Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery pack
Option Diskette
Additional items for the stereo model only:
Left and right speakers
2 speaker cables
2 speaker clips
If any item in the option package is missing or damaged, contact your
place of purchase. Be sure to retain your proof of purchase; it might
be required to receive warranty service.
