NEW MEDIA PCMCIA ADD-ON TO MAKE NOTEBOOKS SING

December 2, 1994 -- So there you are with your shiny new notebook computer
with its super - insofar as any liquid crystal technology can be super -
display and inviting PCMCIA Type II slots. It's so wonderful that it does
everything except sing and dance. Shame about that last bit, but then
Shazam! Up jumps New Media Corp with the PCMCIA add-on to let your joy be
unconfined.

The Irvine, California company has come up with CD Sound Studio, a portable
multimedia peripheral "combining all of the components for on-the-go
multimedia into one streamlined package". Features include a double-speed
CD-ROM drive, built-in microphone, 16-bit stereo sound board and dual
stereo speakers, and the ACS3000 sound system from Altec Lansing Inc. The
ACS3000 uses proprietary sound technology, dynamic compensation circuitry
and an amplifier system to provide "theatre-quality" sound.

The CD Sound Studio is claimed to offer 100% compatibility across the full
range of laptops and subnotebook computers available today and costs $800.
It comes with New Media's PCMCIA true Plug-&-Play device drivers, and
users can exchange, remove or insert the CD Sound Studio into and out of
their mobile system without the need to reconfigure, reboot or power up
the machine. It measures 9.1" by 11.9" by 2.1" and weighs 4 lbs 8 oz
including internal power supply. Dual Altec Lansing speakers are on the
front and side corners of the CD Sound Studio, which ships with Microsoft
Sound System software, including speech recognition. It draws 180mA from
the laptop, 21mA in stand-by mode, and is out next quarter.
