<<Why buy: The 2-GB Jaz drive and 2-x-4-x-6-x Rewritable CD-Recorder drive are designed to simplify CD authoring operations. The unit is ideal for intensive document
management and multimedia applications, combining the storage capacity necessary to create image files with a flexible CD-authoring solution in a single enclosure.

The three-in-one unit offers a 4x CD-Recordable drive with packet-writing capabilities; a 2x CD-Rewritable drive that enables data to be erased and written again when using
rewritable media; and a 6x CD-ROM drive that can read backpressed CDs, written CD-R and CD-RW media.

Key specs: The Jaz drive features transfer rates up to 20 Mbps and gives users the dual functionality of a hard drive and a back-up device in a single unit. The product comes bundled with an 80-watt universal auto-switching power supply, SCSI cabling, one 2-GB Jaz medium, one CD medium, and the FWB CD-ROM toolkit, Adaptec CD Creator and
CD Toast. >>

>>Right now Zip, Jaz/SparQ/Syjet, CDR, CD-RW, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM are all good candidate for ATAPI devices. IMO, we really need a 4 channels ATAPI standard but this will substantially increase the complexity of ATAPI. If this is possible, we can even implement a low-cost EIDE based RAID!<<

Andy -

Four-channel ATAPI is an interesting idea, but computers are already running out of IRQs. Maybe USB holds more promise for solving this problem.
