I think when a company sells CDRs, it's like what you would burn yourself?

Is the NEC 2x drive SCSI, IDE/ATAPI or other, proprietary like the original
Mitsumi?  Maybe you could check what the Mac OS Control Panel says?

When did the original Apple CDROM drive come out?

Now just what are multisession CDs, and what is meant by the session on the CDR
being closed?  It can be assumed the old CD-ROM drive and the drive used to burn
the CDR (disk) would not be on the same computer.

Would all SCSI controllers with NCR 5380 chip have ISA interface?  I suppose
they went out of production before the days of PCI.
