I've got an old 2x IDE CD-ROM drive that's doing nothing.  I would like to use 
it as an AUDIO player.  It is one of the earlier types and only has an eject 
button.  I would like to control this drive using a small processor ie. a PIC. 
 Does anybody have an idea how i can go about it.  What i am actually looking 
for are the control codes.  I want to read the number of the current track, the 
total number of tracks, play, stop, forward track and back track.  Oh ya! - and 
eject of-course.

I would appreciate any information!

Thanx
Stephan T.
