Up for sale: a genuinely cool piece of retro computing history — the NEC MultiSpin 4Xc, a quad-speed (4X) external SCSI CD-ROM changer manufactured in July 1995. This "jukebox" holds and automatically swaps between 7 CDs, making it a favorite among collectors building period-correct DOS, Windows 3.1/95/98, or vintage Macintosh setups for games, encyclopedias, and multimedia titles.

CONDITION & TESTING

Powers on reliably.
• Pressing each front-panel button opens and closes the drawer/carousel smoothly, and the tray advances correctly — confirmed by the tray number visible in the display window in the photos.
• Cycled through all 7 trays several times to verify the changer mechanism advances properly on every position.
• No CDs were loaded, and the unit was not connected to a computer via SCSI — actual read/write function was not tested, as I don't have a compatible system to connect it to. Mechanical function (power + tray advance across all 7 slots) is confirmed; data-read performance is not.
• Cosmetic condition is good for its age — light wear consistent with 30 years, no major damage.
• Has been stored (not in regular use) for more than 20 years.
• Includes power cord (IEC inlet on unit).

A highly sought-after piece among retro PC collectors and vintage-Mac / 486-Pentium builders — the multi-disc "jukebox" design has made it a recognizable staple in retro computing circles.
