 TA> The Katana or Dural or whatever is reported as having a 
 TA> 12 speed CD drive..
 JF> You sure about that one?  Got a source?  The last I heard about the
 JF> Katana was courtesy of Next Generation, which said it would be a 4X
 JF> drive.  I'm not saying you're dead wrong, it's just that I don't think
 JF> a 12X drive is that likely. 
Why not..  4X cd's arent even in Dev any more..  a 12 speed propriatory 
CD-rom would cost less than Seg building their own 4X
 TA> What I don't understand is why did Sony license CD technology to Sega..?
 JF> I doubt THAT happened!  Sony isn't quite that eager to shoot itself
 JF> in the foot. 
That DID happen..  Sony & Phillips Developed CD's in 1982 (Thats when CD's 
were released..  They were obviously in development b4 that)..  So anyone 
wanting to use a cd drive in a device HAVE to license it from Sony (The 
Patent/Copyright holders..)
