Title: Plain White NEC CDRom disk drive?
Post by: Punch on February 26, 2014, 10:30:27 AM: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEC-CD-ROM-Reader-CDR-35D-for-TurboGrafx-16-repair-duo-pc-engine-/131120991322?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e876b8c5a

is this a PC9821 CDRom unit or something? I thought they were black, I remember seeing pictures of black japanese drives used on NEC computers. How many devices uses PCE compatible CDRom hardware?
