This item is very interesting historically as it represents the blending of CD audio discs for listening to music (their traditional use) with use on computers for "multi-media" (video/audio/data), which was all the rage back in the early 1990s. This would've been a handy device to have, being able to play your music CDs, or accompany your laptop on your business trip so you could have access to CD-ROMs as well, with its own battery pack to make for a truly mobile multi-media experience.
