NeXT External CD-ROM Drive
The NeXT External CD-ROM Drive
provided immediate access to large stores of information.
With a capacity of up to 680 megabytes of stored data, the
NeXT External CD-ROM Drive was ideal for people who desired
an efficient means to generate a backup copy of their
system software from a CD-ROM disc. CD-ROM discs also
provided a convenient way to update or load additional
software onto your hard disk drive or network server. You
could copy industry standard files such as TIFF, EPS, RTF,
or text, into applications running on your NeXT computer,
or move the data onto your hard disk, to take advantage of
all the editing options available on NeXT systems.
The drive also allowed you to explore the multitude of
CD-ROM discs holding digitally recorded text, graphics, and
sound files, as well as listen to your favorite audio CDs
by using the drive's RCA jacks. Switch back and forth, as
you desire.
The NeXT External CD-ROM Drive supported the major file
formats, High Sierra, ISO-9660, and Rockridge, making it
possible to select from an expansive range of available
CD-ROM titles, as well as high-quality color and PostScript
image files.
