Mitsumi's affordable, award winning, CD-ROM family now includes a 24x drive; one of the fastest available. The Mitsumi 24x drive provides state-of-the-art features including faster access time, full MPC-3 compliance, compatibility with new CD formats (eg. CD extra), and a unique tray design which holds the CD gently allowing either vertical or horizontal operation.

The use of ATAPI IDE industry standard eliminates the need for special cards for most PCs as this interface is provided on most mother boards. The fast 24x drive means an access time of 90ms allowing even the most demanding files to run smoothly, such as MPEG-2 based full motion video, Photo CD, databases, and business programs.
