Apple PowerCD

In September 2009 I started to downsize this collection to a few items and then archived this section to its own subdomain at the start of October 2011.

"The Apple PowerCD was designed in 1993 by Apple's Design Group, 'Mac-like Things'. It is a stand-alone music CD (which I use it for and it sounds great), it is a SCSI CD-ROM drive and a PhotoCD (Kodak) that you link to the TV. Very very expensive in their day they caught on as a portable CD for Apple laptops as they can be operated by batteries and AC."
