So How Fast
is
FAST?
It depends, but one thing is certain, simply looking at the “speed” of the drive is not
enough. To get the full picture, look at the seek time, access time, sustained transfer rate
and quality of components.
Your Toshiba XM-6201 CD-ROM Drive
The XM-6201 is a one of the fastest CD-ROM drives currently available. Its features
include:
❑
32X speed. That is 32 times as fast as the first generation of CD-ROM drives
❑
Tray operation. Just open the tray, drop in a disk and close the tray again
❑
4800 Kb per second data access. Fast enough for the most demanding
application
❑
SCSI-2 interface. Just set the SCSI ID, plug in the drive to an existing SCSI
interface card, load your drivers and go.
What Happens Next?
This manual shows you how to set up and install your CD-ROM drive. You will need
enough room to work – and a small cross-head screwdriver and enough room to take the
case off your computer.
