Panasonic CD interface
The
Panasonic CD interface, also known as the
MKE CD interface (for
Matsushita Kotobuki Electronics),
SLCD or simply
Panasonic, is a proprietary computer interface for connecting a
CD-ROM drive to an
IBM PC compatible computer. It was used briefly in the early
1990s, and is no longer in production.
The interface is similar in physical format to an IDE, and an IDE cable may be used; however, the CD-ROM drive cannot be connected to the IDE bus and must have an interface card. Some SoundBlaster cards were manufactured with a port to connect to the CD-ROM drive with this interface.
