INTRODUCTION
The Portable Multimedia Kit is composed of a PCMCIA CD-ROM drive and a Sound Module. Compliant
with PCMCIA 2.1, the CD-ROM can connect to any computer with a PCMCIA slot. The Sound Module,
with its real 16-bit stereo CD sound quality can play high-fidelity CD-quality audio. The Sound Module
has a built-in microphone, speaker, and volume control, and for your convenience, there are external
jacks for microphone and speaker. You may use the CD-ROM separately or together with the PCMCIA
Sound by following the easy-to-use software installation guide. This is the simplest way to economically
and completely upgrade your notebook computer to a full multimedia version.
