is it possible to add a play button to a cd-rom drive so that it is
possible to use the cd-drive as a stand alone cd player running through
some type of audio amplifier?? oh by the way... sony crx215a1 is the drive
i'm reffering to be modified... thnx



I'm looking at a LiteOn 163 drive that has built-in play, stop, ff-etc. buttons
and front-panel volume control and headphone jack. connect +5/+12vdc and it
plays fine. No computer (IDE/ATAPI) connection needed.

You might spend as much as $US10 for a new sample...less at a computer flea
market.

But...why?
