I love my design language appropriate PowerBook peripherals but one thing I haven't seen is a PowerBook grey external CD ROM drive. Where there ever any made? Would love pictures if you have one.
Oh my. That is a thing of beauty. Thoroughly exceeds my expectations. I knew something like that had to exist.PowerCD. I have one It's really great! It can function as a battery powered CD player (or via a mains adapter). It can also function as a PhotoCD player (because it has a composite video output).
Wow an actual Diskman with SCSI?! What an awesome feature. It is so compact.I picked up a Sony CD-ROM Discman a while back, which I think goes well with my Duo setup.
It does indeed - headphone and line out jacks on the side, volume control, and front panel playback controls. I haven’t tried it, but it seems like there’s a good chance it’ll respond to standard Sony remote commands.I guess that functions as a standalone CD player too !
Also - I forgot, it has a bay on the side for a removable, rechargeable battery. I might need to see if I can find one of those just to have.
Is the SCSI port on the Sony Discman proprietary? Looking at photos online of the back it does not seems to be a standard port.
This!The PowerCD is such a cool looking product, I'd want one just to display it on a shelf somewhere... so nice.
Thanks! I think I’d seen that at one point in time, and then promptly forgot.It's a "LIP-12 rechargeable lithium ion battery", you can still buy new ones on Amazon (they were apparently used in MiniDisc players later on)
