Hello,

>> Could anyone tell me if there is any program available on
the Amiga that can/will extract digital audio from the IDE
Toshiba XM-5302B CD-Rom drive (rev 1095).
This CD-Rom drive is installed in an A4000 using IDE-fix
(v105.2) & 4x IDE Adapter, with on the first cable 2 IDE
harddisks and on the other cable the CD-Rom drive (as
master).

Yes, it is possible - in theory. If the authors of CDDA reader 
programs for the Amiga would be so kind to include an "ATAPI" 
option, this should work with some drives.
You must know, that in SCSI-II CDDA reading was not defined, so 
every manufacturer used vendor unique commands. With ATAPI, there 
is a defined command to do so. (0xBE). This packet can be send to 
atapi.device with a simple HD_SCSICMD.
The ATAPI documentation (SFF-8020i) should be available from 
various BBS boards for review.
Beware, not all ATAPI drives support this!!!! I have NO idea which
do, and if the Toshiba drive does.
