Hello:

     I have looked through the list of CD-ROMs, I sent Brian earlier.
Here are some possible candidates for evaluation. It should be noted that
some of these may be unusable due to embeded GUI systems.
Its hard to tell. I have the ProPhone set and it is very nice.
Another source of CD-ROMs is the DAK catalog. It is best to buy a CD-ROM drive and
get one or more of their bundles. The money saved buying a bundle
comes close to paying for the drive.
