A lot of companies made Reveal cdroms.. I have a reveal 2x speed cdrom I got
from a friend which sounds very similar to yours, which is as far as I can
tell
a Panasonic CR-563-B mine is. I have yet to get the cdrom to work since I
didn't
get the interface card and it seems to be very propritary to that card and
won't run on anything else. If you look on the cdrom on its labeling, you
might get a better hint of what it is.
