Could be an engineering sample sent out for testing. I've chatted on IRC with a guy who works in the testing lab at Micron in Boise, ID. They get to play with all the latest computer goodies before us peons even hear about them! (Yes, even Mac stuff.) At one time he mentioned a Super Cube, the samples of which they'd recieved had a problem with one of the RAM slots not working properly. Apparently with the dismal sales of the original Cube, Apple decided to shelve the Super Cube. Micron recieved eight engineering samples of the Cube, then bought eight more of the shipping version, which was identical to the ES version so they didn't bother to do much testing on them. = http://www.junkscience.com All the Junk that's fit to Debunk! __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Cd-rom identification help.
The CR-507-C is a Matsushita-made, Apple-branded 12X SCSI CD-ROM drive. The CR-506-C is a 8X drive used in the 8500s. Logically, I'd guess it's a 4X drive in the same series. The 507 and 506 actually specify the speed on the drive label. It's odd the 505 doesn't. Have you tried using it? The Apple System Profiler (or, Mt Everything or SCSI Probe) should give you the Matsushita model number, which you *may* be able to get info on from the Panasonic web pages.
