I've been thinking about buying one of these portable units, the
Axonix Promedia 6XR. Its specs are pretty good: 6 speed,
256K buffer, 160ms access time. From my limited understanding of it,
it doesn't have any batteries and solely draws power from your laptop.
It has a PC card interface, and I think it has a parallel-port option also.
I've seen it advertised in the PC Zone catalog for around $529.
The quad-speed unit sells for about $100 less.
