Toshiba CD-ROM 32X – CD-ROM drive – IDE Series
In the 32x arena, Toshiba OEMs its XM-6202B (ATA) drive. The ATA drive comes with a single sheet outlining master-slave jumper settings.
The drive is a very plain beige color and will blend in perfectly with the average clone case. The drive’s front bezel sports a headphone out jack, headphone volume control, and an load/eject button. Conspicuously absent is the play/stop button that’s becoming more common on today’s DVD/CD-ROMs.
The original ATA unit came out of the box set for operation as the master drive- no change was necessary. Please check this unit’s jumpers to set it according to your needs.
This drive was benchmarked using ZDBop’s WinBench 98 along with TestaCD Lab’s CD-Tach/Pro. The average of 5 trials are presented below:
