There is a Young Minds unit on Ebay right now, which
was similar to the
first unit I saw at sunsoft in about 1995 or so.
This unit would have been from 13,000 to 50,000, depending on when you
got hold of it.
There was a kodak writer unit attached to this to do the writing.
This particular unit seems to have a wide scsi under the connector
marked "writer" so would most likely not be the same one as the one I
encountered.
Sunsoft could master the data and drive this unit via the SCSI port, and
this in turn would write the cd.
Overall the process took probably over 3 hours, but produced a cd which
at the time was something that was pretty new, at least to me.
I think there is was a Kodak unit recently, but I cannot find it now.
they were packaged in a unit almost as big as this converted desktop.
I have one of those very early Kodak writers. I've never tried using it
because the firmware is most likely outdated.
I can get a photo of it if anyone would like to see it though.
