Why is this ironically? Philips and Sony developed the CD standard
together, so it would be natural that the oldest writers are Philips
and Sony ones. Sadly I don't have one, they were incredibly expensive
in those days. I do have the CM-100 and CM-110, the earliest Philips
CD readers. Those were built like tanks and still work today.
