Here's a post from AOL; AS VEGAS, NEVADA, U.S.A., 1997 NOV 18 (Newsbytes) -- By Jacqueline Emigh. In an event held last night at the Hard Rock Cafe by Chromatic Research, together with Compaq, Toshiba and other DVD customers, exhausted reporters got a chance to rest their feet at a home entertainment center, and enjoy the technology they had come to cover. Also at the event, which was attended by Newsbytes, Chromatic announced that Compaq had chosen its Mpact 2 media processor engine for the Compaq PC Theatre 9100. I wonder if Chromatic tried to scale CUBE's 8 ft walls. I wonder if CUBE went out anywhere? PS is Chromatic only for the PC theatre or is it the DVD sol. for the whole line?
