I don't think so. All the "stuff" is there but you need to have computer control (i.e. another cpu telling the drive what to do) before you can make it useful. I suspect that the modifications you would need to do just aren't worth it even if they are possible. The Hitachi 1503s is a CD ROM drive that has an audio output, it is a bit pricy ($1500 Can) though. Dan -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel A.
