I remember reading about the 3DO Blaster when it first came out, it seemed
like a really cool way to expand their platform, and get better gaming on
the 486's of the day. IIRC, it only worked with one kind of Creative
CDROM drive, though, probably one of the proprietary ones; it probably
won't do much without that.
