6100 and 2.2

[Thomas Carlson]

Lorenzo

Well, you got me curious about my cdrom drive.  I popped the top on my 6100
and it is an AppleCD 300 made by Matusuchita-Kotobuki Electronics in March
of 1994.  You might have to find a used one like that somewhere as the
Pioneer drive doesn't work, apparently.

Sorry.

Tom
