Compiled by Ross Kerber, Times staff writer
Toshiba America Information Systems has introduced a slim CD-ROM drive designed specifically to be built into notebook computers.
The drive, which Toshiba said it expects to begin selling later this month, is designed to be smaller, weigh less and use less power than standard drives. Toshiba will supply it to manufacturers at $150 each.
Based in Irvine, Toshiba America Information Systems is the computer division of Toshiba America Inc. In addition to notebook PCs, the company makes copiers, fax machines and telephone products.
