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. Remaining items sold off in mid 2024.

"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."
