January 1995 - Risc PC600 CD system
The Risc PC600 CD system is a complete computer system with an integrated CD-ROM drive fitted which gives you access to a world of information, photographic images, video and music.

- The vast range and quantity of information available on standard CD-ROMs, in DOS format as well as native RISC OS format
- Photographic images stored on CD-ROM using the PhotoCD system

- Audio CDs.
Because the CD-ROM drive is fitted internally, it does not take up any of the expansion slots within the Risc PC, so that you still have the full expansion capability of the Risc PC system.
