Guess you could say I'm on a roll at the moment? Feels like it at least. Can't tell ya how much that vacation really massaged the "creative output" portion of my brain, I've felt energized ever since.
Anyway, this is the Kenwood UCR-421, a 72x CD-ROM from 1999 that the company claimed was the fastest drive of its kind, ever. And I'd believe it, this thing is phenomenally quick and I've personally never come across anything faster. Not even close, it's darned impressive.
And hard to find. And a bit unreliable perhaps. Been trying to find a working unit for many years now, but last month I finally had the luck I was hoping for and acquired a (mostly) functional example. Hope you enjoy the result, this was oddly enjoyable to put together!
