Thanks to _all_ who have answered regarding the CD issue I have had. I
appreciate all your input.

Since a music CD is digitally recorded, I don't see why programs couldn't
access the data over the SCSI line, they access all manner of program and
game sounds that way.

Anyway, seems my only recourse is to get a new CD ROM drive, or wire up the
current one to the interal board as below. ;)

My jack is for a Plaintalk plug, so I wonder if a standard <stereo> input
is going to work. I think not, as my Mac can't record in stereo anyway
(except using the TV Tuner and video module. I am going to see if the video
audio inputs can route the CD sound somehow using the CD's audio out's.

Thanks Chris, that might be the shortterm route.
