OK, I'm building a system. 486DX2-80, E-IDE HD, SoundBlaster I have laying around. If I buy one of these cheap/slow Mitsumi CD-ROMS (I use the CD-ROM more as a CD-Player than anything) will I be able to: 1) use it as a CD-Player? 2) hook it up to the SB (so as to use it's speakers, like a SB16) 3) will xcdplayer (or whatever) run the Mitsumi? Any war-stories/experience with this scenario would be appreciated. -- Rob Snow rsnow@world.std.com
