Amazing are the RM networks ones?

Yep, mine did too.
I had a 486 with win 3.11 for workgroups and a quad speed cd rom drive.

Good times

It amuses me that you can now get about four CD ROM drives
for the price of a CD.

Bought so I could play Doom!

haha turbo button,
computers with a button on the only purpose of which is to make them go SLOWER so you can run old DOS programs that do timing by delay loops. Of course the marketing department won't stand for that sort of thing, they'll have us believe it actually makes the computer go faster.
