One of the very first CD players (audio) the Sony CDP-101 was launched October 1982. http://www.sony.net/Fun/SH/1-20/h5.html The first burner I ever used/sold was some time later, it was a 2x Philips unit (CDD 521) which was an external SCSI unit about the same shape and size as a decent audio amplifier and hellishly expensive. Things have come far in the digital realm in a short time.
