Ok, can someone catagorically confirm whether the CDZ is factory fitted with a dual speed CD-ROM drive or not?
For years I believed the CDZ was faster because SNK improved the hardware over the earlier models (RAM cache) but still didn't fit a proper dual speed CD-ROM due to cost factors.
Some contemporary magazine reports seem to confirm that SNK never fitted the dual speed CD-ROM, and I'm sure there was a discussion on here, years ago, that confirmed that the CDZ's better "loading times" were due to improvement in processing, not the CD-ROM.
