Please explain why you believe that this is illegal? It seems to me that capturing the digital samples over the SCSI bus is not much different in the legal sense than getting them over the serial optical interface available on many CD players. It seems to me that the "fair use" provisions of copyright law would permit this for personal use. As others have mentioned, you can buy CDROM and DAT drives from SGI that allow you access to the sound samples. If you ask the vendors of the drives why they don't make it available, they'll tell you that they don't believe there's a market for it. louie
