IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July
1, 1999--I/OMagic Corp. (OTC BB:IOMC), a leading developer and
marketer of peripheral PC products, Thursday announced the release
of the fastest CD-ROM player to hit the computer marketplace --
the "MagicSpin 56X."
The MagicSpin 56X is the first
internal IDE CD-ROM kit to achieve a maximum transfer rate of 8400
KB/SEC. It is also 130 percent faster than 24X drives. The
MagicSpin 56X has high-speed audio extraction and is compatible
with all CD formats, including CD-RW media. It is simple to
install due to its Windows®98/95 Plug & Play compatibility.
"CD-ROM sales are expected to
surpass 100 million units in 1999," said Tony Shahbaz, president
and chief executive officer of I/OMagic. "I/OMagic will
continue to penetrate this arena by providing cutting edge
products that meet market demands."
The MagicSpin 56X has an average
access time of 80ms and it supports Ultra-DMA Mode 2 with transfer
rates up to 33MB/sec. The Ultra DMA support will consume less
processor bandwidth, which frees the processor for other tasks.
The MagicSpin 56X is expected to
have a retail shelf price of $89 and is available now in national
computer retail outlets.
