IIRC, the first CD-ROM drive that Radio Shack carried
was a relabeled
Mitsumi trasport loader (a top loading drive that slid most of the drive
in and out of a holder to get access to it) It was hailed as a major
breakthrough in price reduction.
I had one of those drives, but I didn't purchase it at Radio
Shack. The drive was about 0.7X, I think, but it was a lot
less expensive than any other drive that was available at the
time.
