The HCCS Ultimate A5000 Mitsumi CD interface is an early CDROM interface for Acorn computers. I think that it has a proprietory Mitsumi interface.

The podule came with an Apple CD 300 CDROM. When I opened the case the CDROM drive inside is a Mitsumi CRMC-FX001D. This is an 2x drive. It is curious that a search on Google suggests that the Apple CD 300 has a Sony CDROM drive!
