I have a macintosh IIsi with a CD-ROM (150) attached to it.
The driver Software came with an INIT called 
'Foreign File Access' and several 'Preference' files to access
non macintosh CD-ROMs.
One of these 'Preference' files allows it to see the audio CD
on the desktop, but unfortunately all files have a length of 
zero bytes and their names are Track_(tracknumber). I wonder
if there is a possibility to rewrite such a 'Preference' file
to read the audio data into the CPU.
Does anyone know what the exact format of such a 'Preference' file
is. (I have some literature telling me how the data is stored on
the CD-ROM, but I have absolutely no idea how I can access it).

Suggestions and comments are welcome
thanks in adwance
